Very nice workbench, but you woulld have more space in your vice if you morticed your two face pieces of stock.

Awesome job! Thanks for sharing.

Nice bench. Alder is very good straight grained and stable wood. That’s why those kitchen cabinet guys use it so much. (and the electric guitar guys too)

nice looking bench

Wow. Mine is still in pieces. You are using yours.

What is the finish?

-- Sharp tools and thin whispy shavings make woodworking a joy.

Nice looking bench! If I could change one thing I would have made the dog holes in the bench in-line with the dog holes in the vice. This ‘might’ present problems. Look at benches made by Lie-Nielson, Hoffman & Hammer and Garrett Wade.

Very nice work bench. I can not fault your choice in wood. After looking at your first project, I would say you are pretty good at it.

-- Brian, Lebanon PA, If you aren’t having fun doing it, find something else to do.

I think you made a great looking very functional bench .

Thats a good, solid looking bench, and it can be modified to suit your needs as your skills increase. You’ve got a great foundation there.

I agree with the philosophy that if your going to learn wood working, start by making what you need to learn…tool cabinets, a work bench, etc.

My cabinets are a little wonky, and my box joints are pretty laughable…no wait, they’re proud..very, very proud…and loose…and a little bit torn out…but proud. :-)

I learn as much from my mistakes as from what I get right.

-- When my wife ask's what I have to show for my wood working hobby, I just show her the splinters.

Great job, this bench looks great. It will give you years of failthful use.

Nice Bench.

I want one!!!!

I need a small bench as well due to the size of my shop . Your top is two feet wide so the legs appear to be about 16’ + or – apart . Is it tippy at all ? Do you plan on making a low shelf to put sandbags / weight on it for stability in case you start doing some hand planing ? Were you going to put in another double row of dawg holes in line with the vise , or do you just span the opening between your present holes with a 2’ long board ? The other benches that I’ve been looking at have the vise to one side . Is there a reason that you centered yours so that I might think about working it into my bench ? Thanks : )
