My physical copy of “Workbenches” came. Once I’m done with this, I’m happy to lend it out. I’ve made and unmade a lot of decisions since I got that book, and I’m bound to make and unmake more.
Here’s where I’m at with my design. It weighs in at about 200lbs without hardware/chop. For a small work bench (only 4.5 feet long) it is pretty heavy, but I honestly wonder if it is heavy enough.
The insert can flip around and become a planing stop. I might add an upper rail for a deadman later, but probably avoid a deadman to begin with.
I’ll be adding a shelf, but I just haven’t drafted it up yet.
