RE: Bench update built for under $10

>Last night I took the top out of glue-up and pulled my table saw as far over to the bench as I could. I then pulled the bench closer to the tablesaw so I could slide part of the top onto the bench and then swing the top over onto the bench leg assembly. This prevented needing help from wifey.
My legs need at least one more cross brace, but I need to review the plans for the American Woodworker roll under assembly table before I determine how low that cross brace can go. I also want to be able to put a set of drawers in there and have room for some dogs.
The top is about 25.5" wide and 65" long. Made from laminated doug fir ceiling beam I picked up from a custom home slash pile. It is three 9" sections jointed and planed, then glued together to a bit over 8" wide. A couple of places I will have to fill with epoxy to level out from knots, etc.
To this point total cost of the whole bench is still under $10.00 with bolts for the stringers and 2 batches of epoxy to hold the end leg assemblies together.
