    I'm going to pull a Lazarus with this old thread as I'm investigating alternatives to using hardwood for a bench top (also on Noden-AAB legs BTW).
    If I decide to follow your lead and use BB ply laminated together with the veneer plys facing up, what's your thoughts on doing this completely vertical (4" thick)? Or would you still do horizontal layers underneath with only the top layers going vertical? I'd have to stagger all the joints to get past the 60" BB ply length but I dont have a vacuum press available so the 4" vertical strip glue up would be more managable for me. How's this thing holding up after 2 years? Anything you would have done differently?

    Superior work and design Sam. I'm blown away.
    I could cry for the time I've wasted, but thats a waste of time and tears.

    awesome design, thanks for the posts and am interested in these adjustable benches for their flexibility. How easy is it to raise and lower? Thanks.
