JimboS1ice Posted September 13, 2016 Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 This looks very promising, I wish I had the space, but it's an older small building and I think I would need to make the casters different heights to match the floor profile lol!!! That edge banding nice, i remember when I was younger and saw my Dad do that for the first time, thought that was so cool!!I always chicken out with that, I guess I get scared when you need to iron it on lolJimboSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tugnut1 Posted October 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 Sorry guys that its been a while since I updated this thread. I have my bench completed now and I love love love it. Let me catch you up to speed. I tackled the drawer option with this bench and I am glad that I did. I first started off by adding a divider to make it look like a face frame. I used some spacers and clamps to make it flush with the front and the same height on both sides. Pocket hole in the back. I happened to buy some clamps and rails that fit the dog holes and put them to use making the drawers. More pocket holes. I used the drawer glide jig to install the glides. It worked really well on the outside of the drawer, but working from the floor made the inside of the cabinet install a little difficult. Here is a shot with both drawers made before the drawer faces were put on. Full extension drawer with fronts. Final build. I have to take a picture of the unit with the epoxy top coat I added, but here is what it looks like without it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric - TIA Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 You're probably right, that's why it would be better to drive it to my house. Why should you have to pay those high shipping cost. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tugnut1 Posted October 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 One last set of pictures for this post. I finished the top of the bench by rolling on 4 coats of West System epoxy. I was pretty nervous about using it, but I needed to make the plywood top more solid and protect it from chipping. I'm extremely happy with the results. If I was good at it, I could have had a surface that looked like glass, but for Pete sake, its just a work bench. LOL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am making some Rockler knife sets right now for my dad and son. I will also be making some custom gift boxes for them to live in. I just made a spline jig to help me with the boxes. I hope to start them this weekend, so we should see some more stuff soon. Thanks for the compliments brother. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
