Oooooh my, is that nice! And, unlike mine, you can still see the top.

Very nice….......I’m green with envy !

That is a really nice bench. Lots of work space, and it’s made like it belongs in a fine kitchen. Nice work.

Beautiful and solid. Archeologists will probably dig these up in a thousand years and wonder what manner of man was this.

Very nice. I also have been eyeing that IKEA beech top. Hard to pass it up.

That’s a really nice setup. Nice find on the Ikea benches.

My kind of benches. That is some floor for a wood shop. Well done.

Wow! Niiiiice!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess they ARE rock-solid. They must weigh as much as a Sherman tank.

Great looking benchs! Too pretty to use… almost.

-- Gary, East TX -- The longest journey begins with a single step.

Great arrangement, and TONS of working space. I love it. Load them up with crap on top and then they will be real workbenches.

Very nice, and it seems like you did it economically. Very good.

Wow what a really nice job. I am going to build my own workbench here in a few weeks and I am going to think about the height now. I am 6’5” so i think it will be nice to bring it up a bit. Really nice project!!!!

I know what I what for christmas . . . a bench just like that . . . only a little taller, I’m 6’2” :-)
Excellent work!!!

Looks like a great set-up! Nice work!

Oops posted the same comment again – let me change it to a Q

What will your strategy be to plane long boards?

Great looking benches. Nice job. I would like some benches like that, but taller.

wow…looks great!!!!

Love the benches and the hieght, I’m 5’ 6” with my boots on. I make my benches and tables lower.

-- Ron Central, CA

I, too, made mine the appropriate height for someone 5’6”.

I’ve a friend whose shop is built for his height 6’2” and I have to climb up on his stools and cannot work on his bench. But it is fine for him.

Your sure will be sturdy for your hand planing.

-- No piece is cut too short. It was meant for a smaller project.

that’s just not right. Nobody should have such a great work area.

ha, good looking bench,
