    Hi Poppa,
    I thought I'd let you know how mine went together.
    100x100 Oregon legs ( to your desired height)
    Rails 50x65-70mm Oregon
    Subframe Oregon as above.
    Top (2) 1.7x290x50mm Oregon.
    Skirt: 42x110 Jarrah, butted against each other at corners.
    Coach Bolts 6x3/8".
    Vise jaws Jarrah as desired (mine are 50x150x600)
    Dog Holes to suit.
    I have a shelf (Oregon) underneath as well.

    I'm not sure I'd want black on the top of the bench, could make it even more difficult to find things

    Regards,

    Rob

    OK, then I think you've convinced me to use Oregon for the top. I might use something else for the base, and I've got this idea of putting drawers underneath. Maybe if I do the draw fronts in Oregon that will bring it all together. Hmmmm. Thinking music please....

    Default Clean bench

    Whats this clean bench top stuff?
    Benches are made for chucking stuff on and end up having no room on them, right?
    Then ya build a new one.
