I've got my almost complete workbench in its new spot in my shop.
The floor is a bit uneven in that part of my basement, so that the workbench was rocking a little, but putting a wedge under one of the legs quickly took care of that issue, and now this thing is rock solid.
I can't believe how much more room I have now that the workbench is out of that middle area of my workshop. The hand tools stored on the far wall will be moved to the wall above the new workbench location, and my lathe, which used to sit where the workbench is now, is going to be situated along the far wall. I also want to add some lighting directly over the workbench area.
I'm currently working on the leg vise chop. It's so nice to have a real work surface to do this.
After I make that, the sliding deadman, and set some boards across the stretchers for some storage space, this bench will be done! There shouldn't be any real issues with building those parts (famous last words) so unless something interesting happens
, the next and last thing I'll post about my workbench will be the finished product.
