As soon as I saw this work bench I knew I needed one. If you don’t have a heavy work table like this you may find yourself down on the floor hammering on the concrete for a solid surface. No more of that for me; everything is quite civilized now. I have a 200 pound work bench with a four inch thick solid wood work surface; all at the perfect height. I saw Jay Bates build this table and I had lumber in my driveway that weekend. I started milling it up. Lots of glue ups. I don’t have a Jointer or Planer and I took some short cuts. As soon as the clamps came off I was using this workbench. Lots of projects. Heavy hammering. Doing the things I used to do on the floor. Even in an unfinished state it was immediately my favorite work surface. If you want to see a master craftsman build this workbench heres the link. Be careful; you may have a pile of lumber in the driveway this weekend! http://jayscustomcreations.com/2016/01/build-a-woodworking-workbench/
