Bill, this is a gorgeous bench. It looks like it weighs a ton so it be able to take all the pounding you can give it. This should last you for years.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

This is a killer bench beautiful well done.

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

Very nicely built workbench.
Sincerely, it would look very much nicer if you put same colour and finish on the foot and the base as you did to the apron. What do you think?

Dont worry about using it friend. Make some bench hooks for it, you can mess those up and not worry about your bench top.

-- Dont just dream it, gett of your up and live it!

That sure is a pretty bench you got there

-- "so much to learn and so little time"..

Beautiful!

Absolutely too nice to get a scratch in just yet : )

-- You know you're getting old when you know the difference between you're (you are) and your (belonging to you) AND how to use them in a sentence .

Nice workbench.

-- CJIII Future cabinetmaker

nice bench but what is to keep the sapele from busting out due to the wood movement of the top? Is the whole tongue glued? I don’t see any lags in the apron on the front and back, just the side. Sorry to be so inquisitive but I am trying to nail down a design for my future bench.

-- My philosophy: Somewhere between Norm and Roy

I only glued the first two inches near the front and secured the rear from below using another bench bolt. That was a good observation Skeeter.

This came around on roll the dice and it looks even “purtier” the second go round.
