err. hmm....errrrm...lovely but...errrr..arent thesplits supposed to slope outwards so it sheds rain? yours slope in, no?
Man that looks like a good time inspite of the weather!Every year we have a community BBQ and cook over 500lbs of beef. Due to the wet weather I had to contribute some dry hardwood to keep the fire going under the sap pan we use to heat beans and corn. Scrounged wood saves the day!

Still pretty awesome! My skills fall between tree fort and drywall.No. Bought a Leigh jig from Canada a few years ago but life got in the way so am trying to figure it out now I finally have some time to use it. Probably 20 years ago I made a chest of drawers with hand cut dovetails in my lunch breaks on a building job from timber scrounged from the job site skip bin. Decided back then hand cut DT is a skill I'll never really master. I think I had to use epoxy on some of the joints

Thanks. I know just enough to get frustrated at how clueless i am and get myselfc into but not out of trouble. Have pallet racks full of dry timber scrounged over the years and never enough time to clear them.

how can they sell those benches for that price. It would cost three times that for me to make one like it for myself. Castors is a nice addition. Do any of them lock so you can push against the bench without chasing it around the workshop? Bought an entire kitchen second hand for a few hundy about a decade ago and repurposed the cabinets and bench tops as mobile benches and shed storage. Works ok but always wanted to make a proper bench like yours but never enough time.
Next project has to be a two stage cyclone dust system. It seems almost weekly there's a news item about how much of a hazard wood dust can be. I need to get serious about avoiding it.
Looks great

if it was a John Boos & Co maple bench, it would be over 10 times that. I actually got mine new for under $100.00! I thought of locking casters, but doubt there are any out there for $2.50 each! iukwim! ~
probably have to roll it up against a wall with casters like mine. lol
looking fwd to it being useable. studs and casters to go in after bench done.
Some of the masterpieces on youtube where guys have made their own workshop cabinetmaking benches make me feel very inadequate! I've stopped looking at those videos. Their benches are better than any finished furniture I could even conceive of let alone produce.
Yeah, I asked about the castors because when I put all my benches on castors, the first set was 360 degree with no locking and I actually ended up going for a pair of straight and a pair of 360 (but locking) on all the others. Nowhere near as manoeuvrable as your ones and, unfortunately, nowhere near what you paid. I think I paid $20 for each set. It's so good to be able to move 'em around the shed. Best of luck with yours. Am looking forward to seeing what comes off your bench. I ran out of weekend to finish the jewellery boxes but I've got the bit between my teef now so the next few evenings should be enough to put the latest ones to bed. I get a bit OCD when a project is going well and really just want to block out the world and finish it. If only real life could be so blissfully one-dimensional.
Yeah that is a splitter. I couldn't find a 300-75 ohm adapter laying around that was the wire to coaxial type. Though I am sure I have one.interesting. in your pix what is the black box? a Balun type device? and the silver? silver - a splitter? thanks for the post, going to look into this design.
