Workbench construction
I'm building a workbench for the basement in my apartment. I actually bought plans for a bench that looks to be of very sturdy construction. I've borrowed a table saw and purchased a dado blade set for the project. Here are pictures of my progress so far on the bench ends. Each leg is made of two 3"x1.5" boards with notches cut for the through tenons. Next step is to glue together the leg halves into solid 3"x3" legs with through notches. Then I will cut notches where the 8' railings attach to the legs. The top is three 2"x9" planks and there is a bottom shelf also. I can't wait to attach my vise and use this bench.
Oil is good, grease is better.
