Feeling mildly chuffed with myself at this stage, what an odyssey this has been for an inexperienced woodworker like myself, so much to learn, much stressing out about messing up, but here we are largely successful with minimal disasters. Just the gap stop and some final detailing to do now as well as some more coats of BLO and turps to apply, which should be done by mid next week. Once I have that all done I'll post some more shots with close ups of some of the more interesting parts of the bench.
Phew......
