Workbench

[Brian Harnett]

It was just going to be simple, but I had to surface the spruce I had chainsaw milled last year so I figured I would dress it up a bit.

The legs are spruce and the connecting aprons are red oak.

I may add some drawers and I plan on putting a wood vise on it

The first thing i would do is take that out of the shop and use it in the house!! That is too nice looking for a workbench you are going to be rough with.

good job on the top...beautiful:D

I agree with Jack. That should be for a dining room table or sofa table, not a shop bench.

Great job! It is beautiful.

You are kidding right! That can't be a WORKBENCH! :eek: Great job and the slab of wood is just beautiful! WOW! Russ

I have some cherry slabs I milled I may do a similar type top for an indoor table design it will be much nicer.

But has your wife seen it yet Brian?

Yes, its in her spot in the shop right now until I get the area its going on set up.
Our house is full of furniture we have made over the years.

A piece going in the house is set to a higher standard than the joints I used in the base construction.
