Workbench

Nice Bench Branden. I’m working out a design for one and might have some questions soon.

Your not too far away.

Gee Wiz, i would be frightened to use this perfect bench. send fotos after hard use. its stunning

Outstanding work, pretty enough to put in the house, and functional enough to use in the shop! Well done!

Great save on the salvaged wood!

Now, c’mon….. are you really going to use this beautiful thing and risk scratching it up? :-)

Beautiful bench. Very nice contrast of woods and the dovetails look great.

Beautiful, very nice work. Do you have more pictures? I’m building one similar to it. You are close. I’m in Roseville

-- Sharp tools and thin whispy shavings make woodworking a joy.

Great bench. If you would like to build me one I would not care to pay for shipping. LOL!!!!!!!

Very nice bench. Good score on the used wood, too! People sometimes don’t realize just how much work it takes using used wood. Great job! I echo Jaxx’s comment. I would be too hesitant to use such a beautiful bench.

God Bless,

I guess my wife was right….you can do a better job if you take your time. Nice bench!

Gorgeous looking bench. I’m a big fan of Mr. Schleining. Does it do the job you believed it would? Any changes you might make on a version 2? How about working height? Again, gorgeous execution. Can’t kick about the money for wood either. Gotta love that.

always,

That table is so awesome! I don’t know how you can bring yourself to use it. I’d be so scared of scratching it. I currently use my old kitchen counter top in my shop. If I run out of clamps or I can’t strap it down, I just pull out my drill and screw a piece of wood to the table and wallah, I have a clamp, dog, fence, you name it.

But, enough about me, your bench is spectacular. I wish you many nights of creative woodworking.

AAAAHHHHHH….....My new coffee table…Great Job

Sweet, I built mine 6 months or so after my daughter was born and you will find out just how much wood work you can do with a baby in one hand and a hand plane in the other. Enjoy, and teach her to be a wood worker. In fact, I just cut a dovetail with her in one arm the other day, (it was in pine so pretty easy) just keep the sharp end away from you little one, and don’t tell your wife.

Nice inlay detail. I also like that you used the Veritas bench pups.

Cheers,

Very nice bench design…after more than 100 days now , are there any changes that you have considered ?

So far I would not change anything Dusty. This was 2 years in the maiking and planning which greatly aids with any skeptism. I have even knicked is a couple of time which was nice to get that over with. I am still trying to find the best spot in my shop as I am still designing and rearranging my space.

-- Dustygirl..Hastings,Ontario.. How much wood can 1 gal chuck if 1 gal can't cut wood?

thanks for the feedback ….sorry about the nicks
