Looks like it will do the job and looks great too. What more could anyone ask for. You only have to please the man in the mirror.

Looks very sturdy. You can always improve something but spend your time enjoying your project.

We’ll always see the problems. This bench looks good, Jim has the right idea sit down and enjoy it a bit. Then build another if you like.

We can all say we could have done better, but what counts is the enjoyment you get out of it. This project has given me some ideas and that’s the thing I like about this site, we can all get ideas for our own projects by looking at others.
This bench looks great and very sturdy, good job!!.

The old saying, “the perfect is the enemy of the good”, comes true for all wood workers, I guess. I had a difficult with my workbench trestles this weekend, but after awhile, I cheered up. Enjoy the journey and don’t make yourself crazy, I thought. The stuff I’m sweating doesn’t matter that much in the context of this project.
Your bench looks great, muscular and sturdy.
Good job.

Hi. Yes I put some clear thompsons seal on it, after two year , the weather got the best of it and it turned pretty grey. I learned a lot, and it gave us three good years of use.
