The Bunnings Workshop community can help with your home improvement projects.
Legs and rails. Rails are dovetailed / lapped flush with the legs. Top left is the first half of the laminated top. Everything is recycled.
Cutting the dovetails at the top of the legs that fit into the top with my Xmas present. Haven’t touched my jigsaw or barely the circular saw since I got it.
Frame assembly, only the shelf is screwed in. The end rails are double tenon & mortised into the legs (one triple 'cos I found a nail). Estimated weight so far: >100 kg. The laminated mdf shelf is 30mm thick, the top 85mm and that’s only about half of it. There’s a drawer that takes up the whole space between the shelf and bottom rails and two vises to come.
Unfortunately not @Kermit, the shed build and work took over. Last seen doing double duty as a table saw station, although I have installed the lower drawer.
Still not finished, but bench related: whipped up a crosscut sled, added a mitre sled that attaches.
