Howdy all,
I came on a 4'x4'x6' pallet of mostly QS white oak, mostly in 2x2 to 2x6 sizes but only 6' in length. Never having had a "real" woodworking bench I'd like to build one. A friend has some lovely old European bench over 8' long that is just a beauty to see. Is that necessary is the question. I have so much wood I'll build one anyway and I'm sure I'll find out if it is satisfactory but what do you think? Can anyone recommend a style in a short bench like that? I do have the workbench book somewhere. I'll have to dig it out.
Btw, this is a drive by gloat too. The cost of the 900+ bf of qswo? 40.00. No more milling my own for a while.
Tia, m
