Groggy
I have followed this build after accidentally running across it a year and a half ago. It took awhile to catch up to your current posts, but the reading was enjoyable.
Congratulations on the final result and I appreciate the documentation and insight that you shared.

OK Greg, now you can feed the dog.

If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

A bench and WIP of epic proportions. Well done Groggy. Your efforts have been an inspiration to many would be bench builders, myself included.

Thanks you so much for sharing the process and the journey. I've found it engaging, entertaining and educational.
May it give you a life time of pleasure as a functional tool that inspires you to futher hone and refine the skills as you produce more and more furniture.
Thanks for the lessons.

Don't be too modest, I'm sure a lot of professional woodworkers would be proud to have produced your bench.
Thanks for sharing the journey Groggy, and I hope you got as much out of it as your audience did.

Beetle Shirt and Acer nailed it. Just fabulous! In particular I like all the different ways of holding something. More pics as you use it in different ways Greg, because those of us who have never used such a thing will learn why this kind of bench is the go.
If the predecessor went 30 years then....

Time to give it a beating with chains and a scorch with a blowtorch to give it some patina
