my bench

I think it would be proper to talk about my work bench
i was able to gather about 8 pieces of reclaimed lumber, about 2-3' each from cuts we made to do a job

i took 7 of them, cleaned the edges and glued them up to make a table top
i planed it with an electric hand planer
and smoothed it with a jack plane

this picture is about 4 weeks of work

next step was to sand it
square it up with a circular saw and a clamped up leveler
and rubed it down with linseed oil
"tried and true linseed oil" i recommend this for everything
big ups to Pat and Brian from the shop for putting me on

here my bench was born

it looked nice on a cast iron leg, but it wasnt cutting it

too rocky 

had to give my bench some new legs

unk 6"x6" bridal joint

a pencil, ruler, try square and a hand saw did its job

my new baby was born

gave her some made in USA vise and she's ready to work

i have spent many nights with her

and looking forward to spending many more

wood is good
