This forum along with Chris Schwarz's book and blog have given me all the ideas for my bench. I thought I would share a few pictures. I just completed it last week. It is not all that different from Mike Sobik's bench. Mine is made of beech which I just happened to get a good deal on. I attached the top with through tenons. I also thought I would post a picture of my tool cabinet (also inspired by this forum) and the first project I have completed with the bench (the step stool from FWW). Avert your eyes if you don't like hand tool gloats.
