Re: Woodworking bench
I cheated on my WW bench. I bought a 12' piece of 4x12 SWP. I cut it in half and hand jointed the two pieces together. That was a real learning experience, but the joint was nearly invisible, and has held up well over many years. It's a little narrow, but has served me well. I mounted a vintage Wilton vise on one end.

Re: Woodworking bench
Couple of humorous comments made here…
Need to build a carport in order to build the bench and it would be easier to build the bench if I had the bench!
Great stuff indeed

Gene, that is a cool bench and a great vise. I got a maple bench someone was using for a welding bench.
I appreciate all the helpful advice I can get. Yes I am going to assemble the top as you recommend. The bonus is I get to buy more clamps, and probably a biscuit joiner. This bench could end up costing me a ton.
I took the top off and refinished, welded a base and made it a reloading bench. Seemed like a good idea at the time.I appreciate all the helpful advice I can get.

Re: Woodworking bench
Any updates on the workbench, Ernie??
It's funny. I store my little travel trailer in my pole barn. I'm scheming on one of those carport thingies to store it outside, so I can free up a bay for my kinda new woodworking addiction.
I'm building a smallish 6&1/2 ft. long Nicholson style bench out of some fir I inherited when I bought my place. Plan to try going "viseless" with the exception of a removable Moxon style vise. I'm a total newbie hack at this bizness, but do love a good curl coming off my Stanley #5 handplane.....
