Happiness is a freshly flattened workbench. I built this about 25 years ago. I think it's the third time I've flattened it. So, that averages out to every eight years. I used an old #7, LV LA Jack, and a LN #4 with a York pitch (for some gnarly grain).

I've used GF's Arm-R-Seal in the past. But this time I used the GF Enduro-Var water based satin urethane. It doesn't add any amber color to the maple. Little sheen because it's satin. It also doesn't feel slippery.

I'm ready to go for another eight years! How often to you flatten your workbench top?
