The key mortises are finished, keys made, and everything fitted. It went together easily so now on to the the slab and vise fitting.

The bench is in the back garden so I have room to work on it, currently the shop is full . BTW, in the background is the first woodworking bench I made many years ago. I expect if it were needed I could hang a vise or two on it and it would still function.
Normally I figure about 6 weeks to finish a bench with the day job and taking care of MsBubba's honeydoes. This one is in its 8th week and I expect there are still several weeks to go. I'm not sure where the leakage is other than it has been really hot even for the desert and MsBubba retired the First of the Year.
