Work Bench Cabinet

NICE!

This maple has such a nice clean look to it, and compliments the table so well.

This is ridiculously beautiful, and your shop is outrageously clean. You are making the rest of us look like slobs and amateurs. <g>

Gary,

This is a gorgeous workbench. I daresay there are not many of us who would chose to use maple, cherry and cocobolo in shop furniture. Not only is the bench gorgeous but it also offers some much needed storage in your shop.

You have every right to be proud of this bench. Well done!!!!

Thanks for the post.

Gary does the local hospital use your shop for overflow surgery? Iam lost for words.

Beautiful Bench & Cabinet!!! But I am wondering what kind of coating you have on your floor????

now that the workbench is done, I can’t wait to see the furniture you build!

and seriously, you need to scuff up that floor. how can you have a workshop with a shiny floor like that!!

great work!

I fit into the slobs and amateurs catagory…and while I’m comfortable in this place…and I can appreciate your great efforts…I secretly harbor a desire to be completely different…kinda like devils who’d prefer to be angels. So I’m going to call your workbench and storage…angelic.

Awesome, if I would have done that my workbench would’nt look so cluttered. Aw who am I trying to kid, it still would look just as bad. Great job. mike

Wow, I’d say that was a slam dunk of a job. I am bookmarking this bench.

Ok, allright, the shop floor is clean, but I had to clean it for the pictures. It is a 50 year old slab in my garage, that was repaired and coated with epoxy/urethane. It has held up very well for 2 years so far (yes it has a few chips and scuffs, but they are small enough not to notice). I am guilty of making my shop furniture too fancy, but I started both the tool chest and storage as practice for hand cut joinery, and figured what the heck. I also know that once made, I am not likely to replace for a long time. Both the cherry and maple are a mix of #2 and #3 common that I bought for around $2.50 a board foot (not much more than the cherry veneer plywood left over from a desk/book shelf project).
I do not have the drawers filled yet, but if anything creative happens, I’ll post some more pics.
Thanks for the kind words,
Gary

Love the workbench!!!

A beautiful workbench, I think I’m jealous, I’m sure. I’m JEALOUS !!!!
