I put a quick blog up to show the planned 'secret' storage under the bench.

Here is a snap of a work bench I'm building for a mate. All material is second hand (free) and the only cost is the galvanised bolts and of course the Jet 7" vice. Top is made up of 65x19 messmate with tons of biscuites glued to two sheets of 18mm MDF. Dimensions are 2460 x 800 x 900 high with a lower shelf to hold my mates many cases of woodworking machines, drills, sanders etc.:2tsup:
I've been playing with Giggle sketchup to get an idea of how it will look in the frame layout. Here is a copy if your interested.
(Ignore the dimensions, they are close but not accurate)
When you open the file click on the tabs to get the preset various views. Note the long Bessey clamp storage area.
Today the side stretchers were started, glued and dimensioned, plus I started the tenons. These will be double haunched blind tenons with dowels to give some extra holding power.
The joinery for the long stretchers is now complete, including the dado for the lower shelf. Next weekend I hope to get the short stretchers finished.
Don't muck around with drawings. Just do it.:U
Tricky things flutes.
Good looking bench Waikune.
Working on the short stretcher mortise and tenons this weekend. Halfway there, tomorrow I'll finish the haunches and square up the mortise ends.
Note the choice of double tenons was partly for strength and also so I could straddle the peg hole.
So that's what you've been doing all day. :2tsup:
Keep it up son.
Groggy I'm more than a little concerned you have not crossed the waste on your tenons a bit of pencil scrubbing is not wise. I know if I was sawing them you can be assured the middle bit will get cut out. :D
Nice joint man, love and peace :2tsup: sorry it is the 40th anniversary of Woodstock.
