It is solid and heavy. I kinda like the plywood edges on the legs. I even put some high build finish on those edges and and sanded them. http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b7/jbraTTon/DSC00920.jpg I’m another one of those plywood bench guys. It is solid and heavy.

He spends a huge amount of time on this. Check it out to see a real perfectionist at work. http://www.bobvila.com/RoughCutShow/Podcast_107.html Guys, when mentioning grain direction and matching up the grain to your piece I couldn’t help but think about one of T-Chisel’s latest posts about his step stool project.

I had to resaw a recent glue-up because I hadn't marked the boards with a triangle and put sapwood right next to heartwood. While my wife couldn't see the problem I had with it, at first. Once I had fixed it, she saw how big a difference it made. That Final Cut PSA for blades is a great idea for the construction/trim trade because they are in a hurry and being able to use the blade as a sanding disc at the time of cut would really speed things up. But, I doubt I'd put one on my Fusion blade. I'd heard a rumor Bessey was restyling their K-body clamps, but it looks like that was only a rumor. I think I'll continue to go with the Jet clamps for at least three reasons: The bigger rubber handles, the more stable stance, and the built-in rule. Great show! Hey guys,

It's an awesome bench and easy to build. Plans were straightforward and worked like a champ. I capped the plywood ends with Cherry to hide the plywood and used cherry-veneered plywood on the front and drawers that I made to fit underneath -- definite overkill, but I learned a lot in the process. I highly recommend -- rock-solid bench. See: http://www.scottmorton.com/2008/02/finished-workbench.html I built that workbench last year. It’s an awesome bench and easy to build.
