Sir,

Attached are photos of my "Robo/Christopher Schwarz" inspired workbench. The top is 24 x 84" x 2 1/4" Birch. Legs and strechers are hard maple. Strechers (2 1/2" x 5") are drawbored mortise and tenon into the legs. Legs (4 1/2" x 5 1/2" x 34") are double tenons through the top with each tenon double wedged. I used the 'Lake Erie Toolworks Wood Vise Screw - Single Kit Premium' for the leg vise. The leg vise chop is walnut and the leg vise guide is Zircote. I used a Record #53 quick release vise as the end vise. The end vise chop is purpleheart. The finish is boiled linseed oil. My dream workbench has been a very long time in comming. I have had some of this wood for over 25 years. My job had me relocating every few years so I thought it might be a problem having a 350 pound workbench to move or store. So after retireing I finally have my woodworkers workbench. Now on to kitchen cabinets.
