Work bench

This workbench looks great and it seems strong and solid and should serve you well.

That’s an awesome workbench WoodenWarrior, may you make many great
projects with that nice workbench.

I am very jealous of your bench, great job though.
I understand your dilema with the family life balance thing but I find that with the making of projects that improve over time the wife get’s happier because she gets to apreciate good quality furniture and you build up the tools and skills slowly. key word is balance!
Well done.

Nice solid looking bench.
I am sure you will enjoy just sitting at it, let alone working on it. A good bench is still on my shop “bucket list”

I have literally felt your pain on the top glue up in the last week. I will be flattening my work bench top tomorrow and have one or two small gaps in the glue up (between the three sections). Oh well, it is what it is. By the way, yours looks quite nice, a much nicer top than mine.

Beautifull bench. Now you need to take a hammer and give it a couple of good whacks. At random. Then spill something on it. Because you know its going to happen. May as well get it over with. Just kidding. That bench is something to be envious of.

Thank you for your service.

Seriously nice bench, Excellent job!

First off Welcome back and glad your ( I assume ) return was a safe one… I read a quote today on here I think you would agree with as I seved as well.

A veteran is someone who, at one point in his/her life, wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America,” for an amount of “up to and including his/her life”.

Great job on the bench and some quality shop time,,,,,,,its a real beauty!!! Now get back to the honey do list Mr! LOL

Welcome back first sergeant and thank you. I’ve been putting off building a good bench for some time. I’ve bought and read several books on the subject. I built a sizable tool chest so now I guess now I should follow your lead, stop reading, and start working A beautiful bench that you can be proud to pass on to your children.

@Ripthorn ,
I had a couple of very small gaps in my glue up as well, in addition to one or two unavoidable small knot inclusions. A little five minute epoxy with some sanding sawdust mixed in and spread in the gaps filled the bill nicely. Scrape and sand it down and the gaps will disappear. I would love to see your bench when you complete it.
