    Bench Build

    I started building a workbench. Using syp. Ripped it down and what didn't warp, cup, twist, bow or corkscrew went into the top. My old belsaw planer couldn't handle a glueup of 5 boards without severe snipe so it's hand work on the top now. I used 16 pipe clamps on each section glue up and 1 bowed, ever so slightly. All day today I have been planing it down on the sides. I have it down to 2 slight openings. I'll finishbench 017.jpgbench 018.jpg getting the top ready and start on the legs tomorrow.

    It looks like you are off to a good start, and I think you will be pleased with the thickness of your top. What finished dimensions are you going for in your top?
