Workbench

Very nice workbench. Be careful driving nails into it. It will mess up the finish.

Karson, I wouldn’t worry about Tracker making any marks in that dinning room table, by the looks of his shop, he’s never done any woodworking – not a spec of wood dust anywhere. LOL

Beautiful work, Tracker!

Very good work. The first thing you need to do is cut into it with a saw or chisel just to get it over with and then you will not have to worry about scratching it all up while using it. LOL

I think you just need to put a vase in the middle of it and put it in the front room. To beautiful to work on.

Very nice indeed! I am a huge fan of Jatoba and am also considering it for my upcoming bench project. I agree with DaveC, go to town on that thing and give it more character! I have a cheap, 2×4 constructed bench now and still use scrap plywood to protect the top while working.

Thanks for sharing!

How are you ever gonna get any work done on that? I’d be afraid to mess up the finish…lol

Very Nice Work, looks like it’ll last a life time, Scott

What’s that clamp doing on your dining room table? For cracking open nuts, lobsters, etc…?

Very nice. May your table inspire many great projects (over the generations it will last).

You just might be a Lumberjock when you use a work bench as a kitchen table, or a kitchen table as a work bench.

Almost? As clean as the shop is, it IS clean enough. When you’re used to eatin in the shop full of sawdust and as sawdust free as this “shop” looks, I’m wondering where the kitchen chairs are.

Nice bench, dont worry about the first scratch it just adds to the history of the bench

Wow beautiful, I like the mixing of wood. You better get a hold of Dennis. He’ll teach you how to put some stress marks in it, or he’ll do it for you. I heard he doesn’t charge much either.

A very nice bench. Like everyone else, I would be worried about messing up the finish.

Looks like you should be building workbenches!

just like a new pair of sneakers…. just post a picture of a ding you put in it, quick, or you’ll never hear the end of it.

Thanks for all of your kind comments … I will go home tonight and give the workbench and good WHACK with a hammer and make me and everyone feel better!!
I should have taken a shot of the workshop before I cleaned the piles of wood dust and chips from the floor before I took the pics!

-- Scott - Dallas, Texas

haha “that’ll learn ya”.
I can see piles of sawdust and woodchips in all of your upcoming photos now—You’ll be storing the “photo props” in a garbage bin, waiting to be added to the shot before taking the picture!!

See?? one good whack, that’s all it needs. Then we will all feel better.
Feelin better already!

Beautiful!, wonderful job! (they’re right tho, Betcha it’ll hurt when you put that first “dent” in it!)
