There are two end caps similar to Groggys appoach, but look mum- no visible hardware.

Paul
Don't worry, two years is not a long time. My bench is still seasoning in the stack .
It's looking good. The end result will make it all worthwhile.
Regards
Paul

They are barrel bolts - well spotted + 1 length 10mm all thread, washers and nuts.
I saw the idea with Groggys bench with the bolts then saw a post how a guy did it this way on an o/s forum.
The slots allow the nuts to go on the all thread and enough room to swing the spanner to tighten.

Whilst
procrastinatingthinking about the dovetails it suddenly dawned on me that I am not sure how to do the following as I really haven't done this stuff before and after the time investment don't want to bugger it up.
1. Plane the top - it's reasonably flat courtesy of Andy's thicknesser but has a half mill hump in the middle. There is some really curly grain here with potential for tear out. Do I do the planing across the top thing at 90 degrees with the Jack then the jointer or just the smoother with the grain with a low angle blade with a 50 degree bevel angle.
2. Epoxy dents , bug/ worm holes in the top. Obviously before the planing. Seems easy enough, any pit falls?
3. Building the base so that it fits the top without accumulated error getting in the way

Morning Paul progressing well.
This may be rough but a half mill hump in the middle of what size/area? In the past when I have done found this sort of thing on work I was doing with minimal tools etc I have done the following.
If the area is say small 6" square or such I have used a block plane removed light cuts and worked just the highest point/s. Then grab next plane etc etc.
I have also used a cement float with sand paper attached using grits of 60 down to 100 due to the grain, then used the orbital sander.
Worst case a 60 grit disc on a drill or grinder type disc sander for grain which was like cement and plane wouldn't look at it.
My favourite tool for this is my old body file or rasp it usually is or was first cab off the rank for roughing down.

A HNT smoother will sort that out. No hurry. Take your time and check progress often.
I suppose a LN will do or a bedrock if you must set for a light cut.Those were the droids I was looking for.

Plane (BUP jointer or smoother) will have to wait for the completion of the epoxy experiment.
Megapoxy H was much more runny than I thought it would be. Oh well this time should seal the fibres for next time. I will need to use a thickening agent any recommendations or just wood flour? I am also not sure about the proprietary tint used - black to mimic mineral deposits. Be interesting to see. It's the underside.

Light cuts. 62 degree angle of approach with a bevel up jointer. Working both straight across Eg perpendicular to the bench and at a 45 degree angle resulted in this.
Help.

Go with the grain and lighten the cut. What happens?

Skew the plane?
