Very good! Another galoot among us. I made the same bench. I see you left your bottom shelf off as well – looked like just a dust collector to me. Piece of advice – make another one while you’re at it. You may want to use a different pattern for the second one, but you’ll definitely want two the same height.

I see we have similar taste in shop cats as well. Welcome aboard!

Okay I will ask, what is the groove for? I am thinking for handsawiing something, but Am I missing the point?

But overall, a very stable and well put together project

The notch at the front is for ripping operations and scroll saw type turning cuts. Thanks for the comments.

Try finding a screw box on ebay etc. to make your own screw. I got lucky and picked up a 2 1/2” monster. Roy Underhill describes how to make your own in one of his videos (http://www.pbs.org/woodwrightsshop) and in one of the books he has written. The title is “The Woodwright’s Workbook”.
