Thread: New Ubeaut workbench... WIP

G'day Dingo,

Of course it's a claret-red bonza bench, and a top bench because it's made of Jarrah and you can't have a beaut Aussie bench (on account of it being made from Jarrah) without a Dawn vice sitting proudly in it.

So go out and get one mate. Then stand back and drool over it some more with a vitamin in hand.

hello to all this is my first post here. I've just taken up working with wood in the last couple of yrs. All that ive managed so far are garden stuff and a bookcase,but I love trying to make things.Since I got this computer i've learnd lots of things to do , mortly from US and UK forums.anywayI seem to spend most of my time makeing the jigs I need to make the article. I was told to get a good bench so I clicked on here. what I've seen here frightened the liveing s##t out of me .What do you people make furniture for bomb shelters or what .Some of the designs that i've seen would hold a truck off the ground.Now I know how you Aussies kick the Bejaysus out of our poor little rugby team and our Gailige teams.
Anyway I hope you wont mind me being part of your excellent forum. I will look forward with your permission to watching how the work benches turn out and pick up some tips as well.Good luck to all.
P.S. we Irish are a very helpful race so if you need help with the cricket team dont be afraid to ask . Slan Leat Boysie.

Good on ya Boysie, with a sense of humour like that, you'll do well on here.

G'day Boysie39,

Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.

Ya know Ding, I was sittin here admiring ya loverly bench when it hit me .......I just knew something was missing ..... 6 pockets mate .....hoist the skirt up a tad .....and she'd make a ripper outback pool table ....ya lucky to have such fine timbers for a bench, jarra pricing here would put the project out of a lot ppls price range .....but if ya gonna build something beautiful once in ya life, ya gotta fork out the readies I suppose ......its nice to see something well built that will stand the test of time....well done mate

It is a strange world you live in Joyce.
Everytime I post a pic of anything worth printing & hanging on my shed wall it gets deleted or sent to the naughty room.

Shes a rip snorter WD, you have done yourself proud.

Hope Ruffy don't see it, She will want to put a table cloth on it to match the Curtains in her shed. (Sorry Wendy)

Jarrah is my fav timber to use, but I don't quite have it laying around like you do.

Have a green one Mate.

Hey Irish, I need a 6"13 Basketball player for my Under 20 Team, you got any mate? Welcome to the Forum.

I'm using batu for my benchtop, picked up a heap for $50 from a second hand building supplies. Just thicknessed the paint off and beautiful timber underneath.
