21ST Century Bench/Bob's Bench

BC, great looking bench! I hope you get many, many enjoyable years of use out of it, looks like a real workhorse, well done.

sweet bench, I’m in the process of brainstorming a design choice for my next bench, and so far, this 21th design has many great features… nice job on the bench!

-- When in doubt - There is no doubt - Go the safer route.

Great solid, strong build & heavy bench which may serve you years of use and abuse.
Nice work!

This is a nice looking bench. It should prove to be a nice addition to your shop for many years to come. I like this version and am considering either one of these or the roubo (or some variation, thereof).

It is a little hard to tell from the photo but I assume that the inserts for the tool well are made from cherry? (After all what else would you choose to work with!!). :)

Thanks for the post.

Scott the insert are phenolic plywood which is a theme in the shop….mrsawdust steak and lobster and Texas hold’em might prove to be a summer night challenge, thanks for the idea…Blkcherry

I can tell by your post that you are not really happy with your bench, Tell you what, I will take it off your hands. Lol, great looking bench, it’s obvious you put a lot of thought and fine work into it.

Beautiful job..thats too nice to use!

thats beautiful im in the middle of making my new work bench and im getting confused ove the different designs but i do like the tool tills in the middle of yours do you turn them over when you don’t use them

-- cut it saw it scrap it

Pommy they do turn over so that you have a completed table top. This one of the main reason I chose to build this bench. The complete drawing is in Popular Woodworking, October 2008 #171, also this issue is still available online. One of are lumber jock members did a outstanding job Blog his build as well, it worth checking it out, Loogie is his profile name. Thanks again to all for the nice comment….Blkcherry
