What a piece of junk. Ship it to my house and I’ll have it destroyed for you… :)

By the way, the dead man (woman) design is clear enough. But there’s been one posted on here a couple of times that takes that idea to an absolutely pornographic level!

Your bench could NOT beat up my bench. Nope, it could eat my bench. Nice looking bench, looks like its ready for a lifetime of service. Well done, I bet its heavy.

Your bench would be in a world of pain if it met my bench.

I saw the dead woman design too, I’m surprised the top hole wasn’t bigger with lipstick around it.

Ill leave the fightin’ words to the fighters :)

Otherwise, love it. It’s a great bench with all the trimmings.
It looks well thought out and equally well constructed.

It is heavy, not sure on weight. I see people always saying, “its about 350 without the vises, etc” Seems like most is speculation to me, probably not putting them on scales. However, lets say that I wouldn’t want to lift it, and I got to put some good effort to move it around.

I prefer not to think about that, but since you’ve burnt it into my mind, I guess I would have needed to do a glue up

Very nice bench indeed. Not sure that it could beat up my bench, but it would give it a run for the money, thats for sure. I sure hope your white out dowels hold up though! I’m not sure how strong white out would be in this application…. :D :D
As for weight, have a look at my blog and you’ll see that I actually DID put all the parts of my bench on a scale to weigh them. My top is 139 lbs, each side including two legs and panel is 53 lbs, and the total weight of my bench as it is now is 318 lbs. (73 lbs in vises, deadman, stretchers, and endcaps.) Once I add the cabinets underneath, I expect it to top 450! Lets see who’s bench beats up who’s then! Hahaha. All in fun of course.
Very nice bench, and a great job building it. Thanks for sharing.
