Needed a stationary stronger workbench. HAd some 6X6 posts, so I added a couple of 2X12's, some carriage bolts, and an old saw my wife gave me.
Nice, I need to get to finishing workbench 2.0 for my garage. Too many other projects. I spent today hacking down the forest in the front flower garden, so that project is checked off, only 16 more to go.
DOUG! Don't sell the Bandit!!!When you run out of projects... you die
When building your own workbench from scratch, always size it appropriate for you.Jasen it is perfect height for you and I.
I wanted to be able to set anything I could lift up there, on the thing. I had 4 8 foot 6X6's, and like I said, I bought 2X12's, but intended 2X6's. I believe it was a lucky accident.

Yea, that thing is STOUT!
I see you are a carpenter that turns the rings of the wood the correct way and crowns. Not many worry about this these days. Great job?
I am honored by the comment, but frankly, I don't deserve it. My Mother's side of the family is Scots-Irish and full of carpenters and mechanics. Lots of bike riders. My Dad's side are all the OCD/Engineering/Accounting types. So, honestly, I had to put the crowns the right way or my OCD would not let me sleep. The sad part is that I remember my Aunt looking up and saying something was like 6 ft and a 16th or so. They cut the piece of wood and it was perfect.
It is good to inherit skills. Thanks again for claiming I am a carpenter, makes me smile.
P.S. I can roof, but plan to never do it again, I can do plumbing but would rather be beaten than do it and of course, I hate yard work. Which wouldn't be so bad if we hadn't moved to a place with 21 acres, fences, gates and washed out roads. I will get to see if I can be creative with a box blade soon.
