Pretty cool. Looks a lot like mine.

GaryK, I like yours as well :) Yours looks like a big brother to my own.

That is just awesome! I wish I had the nerve to do drawers and such for my shop.

Looks great. Yours too, GaryK.

I keep going back and forth about whether I want to add cabinets to mine. I was sure I wanted them until I started reading Chris Schwarz’s stuff (editor of ‘Popular Woodworking’ and ‘Woodworking’). Do you find that they ever get in the way when you want to clamp something to the bench top? Do you ever use holdfasts?

Great looking benches and stroage. I like the drawer fronts too. Nice job.

Great solution for storage. I’d sure like to tour some of you guys’s scrap piles!

lots of storage and nice use of materials. I agree with the Blum slides they are overrated.

Great looking benches. I am glad to see that you both went beyond getting something functional. This really adds a great deal to the project. I tend to go with merely functional in my shop construction but am beginning to “see the error of my ways” thanks to posts like these.

Gary,
That workbench is awesome!! I wish I had that workbench in my shop !! How long did it take to make the bench?

Muzhik asked, “Do you find that they ever get in the way when you want to clamp something to the bench top? Do you ever use holdfasts?”

It probably doesn’t look like it but there is a three inch overhang on both sides. So I have yet to have a problem with clamping. It really is very convenient to have this storage space available.

Nice benches Tim & Gary. There is never enough storage space.
