    Beautiful work. Now its time to "patinate" it, give it the well worn look, ie smack that thing down!

    I am curious though...I see the DJ-20 in the back ground...I don't see a dust collection shroud on it....I don't see any chips on/around/near it..hmmm? When I forget to turn on the DC with mine I'm quickly covered in a shower of chips. Is that your real shop or is it air brushed into the picture? It looks entirely too neat to have just given birth to that georgeous bench!

    Dan, it is beautiful. Nice work. It should serve you well for many years.

    The photos are great too, thanks for the effort.

    How long did it take to build? (est. hours?)

    Congradulations Dan...you have undergone a rite of passage by building your own woodworkers bench...it will be a source of pride and inspiration everytime you use it.

    You've managed to capture the craftsman style in a wonderfully functional design. It's amazing how a simple curve can add so much interest. Very well done.

    I wish I could build a bench like that. Someday I am going to attempt one hope and it comes out half as nice.

    As to the neatness of the shop, bravo. I am a neat freak and very anal about it (just ask my wife - I drive her nuts). Its nice to know I am not alone, even when it comes to the shop (aka garage).
