I got my new workbench completely assembled today. It's not 'finished' per say since I still have some cosmetic details to do and some bolts to trim shorter. It however completely useable now. No longer just a top on some sawhorses.
I'll be making a shelf to drop on the stretchers behind the cross braces. That way I can pile some boxes of tools on there to add a bit of weight. I also need to make the crochet, a shooting board and a moxon vise to fully accessorize it. I'll probably put some rubber over the feet to give it some more grip as well.
I decided to build this bench after seeing it on Steve Branams blog. He has a great three part post on building it with plenty of details. I used his build details to create a Sketchup model to my own dimensions. So far I'm thrilled with it. It's not an 8' behemoth for sure, but for living room woodworking it seems to be just perfect.
