Narrow working surface, 12" or so, and tool tray. Great for doing most jobs. For bigger work, like case work or work with legs wider than the 12" that 30" top is just what I need. I also have 4 vises on it, one on each corner, one side right handed the other side left, wouldn't trade that either.

Jim,

I'll bet it was number four or later before the magic happened.

I'm really impressed with the small Moravian bench. I'll know in a month or so how it scales up to a full sized bench.
