I finally can call it finished. This was something I have wanted to build for a long time. It’s always good when a project turns out better than you had expected. I did a blog about the whole process if you are interested. Thanks for looking.

How many pallets would it take me to build a similar one? Great workbench mate.

Looks really good and solid and love the Veritas end vise.
I like the look of your shop with the natural light streaming in through the big windows
A job well done. Now what will be your first project made on it??

Thanks fellas.
Twokidsnosleep/ I have already started working on the sharpening jig from Lie Nielsen. It was in the last issue (I think) of fww. A buddy of mine gave me some Corian and I thought it would be perfect for the jig since I have water stones. I’ll post it when I’m done.

That’s pallets? Wowser! Some interesting wood grains going on there.
There’s a Fowler and Peth roofing across the street from where I work. Pallets stacked 6 feet and there must be 20 stacks!
