Redefining my workbench
The bench top has moved quite a bit in the past 12 months. That’s the price I pay for using recycled mixed timber.
I made this jig to flatten the top. It works a like the old dot matrix printer and the result is pretty good. To prevent further movement I add a number of cross bars to the bottom. It should be very stable now.

A clever jig.
You could use that for jointing wide boards ready for the thicknesser.
But maaaaaate - by the time you set that lot up and flattened it, those wonderful items on the shelves in the background would've whipped it into shape! I can see their put-out expressions from here.
I really got a kick out of handplaning my top. Each to thier own, i guess.The only way to get rid of a [Domino] temptation is to yield to it. Oscar Wilde

I used a large CMT bowl & tray bit and it took a hour to do the whole table.
