I've been saying I was going to build a hand tool woodworking bench for over a year and once I got into it, I hammered it out in a couple of weeks.
It's a mix of designs and hopefully it'll feed my hand tool use some more.
It's all ash except for the leg vise which is some walnut I had on hand. I bought the ash in 12/4 for my birthday to myself back in Feb. I had to get some extra to do the large front apron.
It was my first ash work and I really liked working with it.
For all of the build pictures you can check out the gallery here:

There's lots of power tool use and lots of hand tool use so it's a mix.
Now to get back to work on my entertainment center.
