Hi Folks:
I have been fooling around with tools for several years, always using the kitchen table and the stairs (great sawbench, as I'm sure you and your significant others will agree).
I got it in my head last Sept. to make a bench, and have finally finished it.
I made dozens of mistakes (stock selection!), but the result is still a very stout and functional bench. Here it is bathed in the natural light of my studio....I mean the fluorescent light of my basement.
Thanks to all of you who answered questions along the way!
