I'm moving my shop from a single-bay garage to the adjacent two-bay and I will finally have room for a proper bench. I have some 8/4 x 6" reclaimed cherry in sufficient quantity for a 7'x2' top, legs and stringers. I'm thinking of a set of parallel dog holes spaced every six inches along the length, a shallow well running the back length and vices at left front and right side. A couple of questions:
- 4-5 coats of oil-based semi-gloss poly for the finish. Other suggestions?
- Sourcing for reasonably priced vice mechanisms?
- Any other thoughts, suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks!
Larry
