Hi all, well i am at a stage of woodworking where pretty much have the big tools and most of the little tools but every time i start a project i find myself needing some other jig i dont have.
This week its a workbench. I had to stop work on my Walnut project (to be posted another day) because i found myself working on the edge of the table saw fence. Thats when i said enough.!
So when Matt started on about workbenches i decided to build one of the plans i sent him from Popular Woodworking. Its called the $175 woodworker workbench but i hope to come in even less since i was given a nice old vice (pic later) to put on my bench.
This bench is a clever design using plain old pine from the borg (HD) and using a size where you get no waste. Total number of lengths required is 8 lengths of 2x8 12ft long. Pic out the best and cut to size. Glue up and voila workbench.
So part one here are the pictures to prove.
Will update as progress I have just glued up slab no3 hope to get this done by the end of the weekend.
