I guess “fairly new to woodworking” covers a lot of ground, because there are some pretty advanced techniques here as far as I’m concerned.

Very nice bench!

Thats a great looking bench. If there are any flaws they are not noticeable.
That is someting that should last for generations, you should be proud.

I love a good bench! Great project! Did you take some more construction photos?

Thanks for the comments, unfortunately I didn’t take any contruction photos. I have some other photos of the joinery (legs) but I don’t know how to post them.

Frank, the flaws aren’t noticeable because I didn’t take photos of them !

I’m definately a hand tool fan after this. I have a table saw but it scares me, I don’t like the noise or the dust. I need this hobby to be something relaxing I can do to unwind from work.

Let me add to the glowing reviews. What a great sense of craftsmanship!

Looks like you did a great job. one problem though, Too nice to work on. (LOL) A power tool is only as dangerous as its user. Practice good shop safety, and wear ear protection. Looking forward to seeing what you are going to build on it.
God bless

Beautiful job Moral. The color is outstanding as well as the design. Shop furniture was invented to display our mistakes. A constant reminder as we grow in the craft.

Hi Moral, that is one fine work bench. You should be proud of it. I agree with Gene’s comment. This should be sitting in your family room. Throw some 2×4s and a sheet of plywood together for a work bench. This is a piece of furniture.

I do like the way you finished it out. I tend to be lazy, when it comes to my shop furniture in that I generally leave them unfinished, unless of course if I happen to spill some poly on them. But I am beginning to see how the other half works and am slowly learning to mend my ways.

thanks for the post.

well i wont bother showing you my work bench ! heck i wont even show my dinner table after this ! lol great job

Very nice, it reminds me when I built my last top. Maple and walnut. I kept it covered, then decided that it should be used as a workbench and it should be shown. I’m sure you’ll want to show your bench off. I really like that through tenon.

First table? What are you going to do for an encore? Would be hard to top this.
