I build either too many benches or not enough of them. If Y'all aren't bored looking at benches, here is another one.
This one is a bit prettier than most of my benches, and probably my favorite bench I've built. Solid, pretty, clamps work like a dream, just about the perfect size for my work.
82 x 20 x 30 3/4" tall. Top is a bit over 3" thick.
Tail Vise and Leg vise with St Andrews Cross hardware. Square Bench Dogs are a bit over 1 1/16" wide.
Top floats in Tenons, Base constructed with Drawbore Mortise and Tenon Joints.
Cherry and walnut top, with some Beech and maple accents. Mahogany endcaps. Chisel rack built in. Bottom Shelf is stained pine, and simply lifts out if I ever decided to change anything under the bench.
Base is lacquered, top is finished with BLO.
