"old" one is cramped, small drawers....not enough room for the computer I am using...so.
Came up with a rough "Plan"..

Then drew up a better Plan...

More as a guide, than anything carved in stone....(already a few design changes have been made..)
In order to get to building...all the extra "toys" needed to be cleared off the bench...

So the first load of boards could sit ON the bench...(may have to open a second drawer, someday?)

I also made up a Cut List ( which saw a few changes, as I went along)

Rails went from 21" down to around 16-18" long...by 1-1/2 wide....stiles are 30-3/4" x 2" wide....raised panels? will cut to fit..
Had a lot of rip and crosscuts to do, and try not to get a bunch of big cutoffs...

Set up for ripping the stiles for width....that fence got a work out, yesterday....had two 2 hour work sessions with a break inbetween for Gatorade...even with the shop fan on "HIGH" was still a bit toasty down in the Dungeon Shop....
So..this is part 1....stay tuned for the next "exciting episodes" right here...same Bat Time, same Bat Channel
