The Moraivan Work Bench Base is Finished
The base is finished, it just needs trimming and clean up. I'm impressed, even without closing the box, slab not installed, it is rock solid.
I still think I will paint it with a red undercoat and black over coat of milk paint, both to hide the numerous mistakes and mostly the butt ugly DF.
As I have posted before, the design and engineering of the little bench is impressive. From a wood workers view point it is a fun build with brindle joints, through mortises, and housed dovetails along with the tusk tenons and each joint is there because it is the best joint for purpose. If I had all the time in the world to think about and design a portable bench I don't think I could come up with a better design.
Better construction for sure but design not likely.
BTW, the next one will be better and it is such a fun build I expect there will be several more.
