Man, so much to think about when building a bench. Ill be venturing into a bench build in the spring i hope. In the mean time ill be reading and evaluating my specific needs. I tend to leave a lot of tools on my bench when i work but i do a lot of hand planing and can see the thought of chips and shavings filling it up. Makes a guy get to thinkin …. good post Brad.
