Default Bench is finished

Very nice! A special piece of wood for the shoulder vise
spacer block is a nice touch. The one in Frank Klausz's
bench the inspiration?

Did you with the traditonal all wood tail vise? If not, whose
hardware did you decide on?

Did you go with the nylon centered lock nut on the AllThread?

Big dovetails are fun. Did you use a bandsaw or a handsaw?
Most dovetail saws won't cut that deep. Tenon saw will though.

Tool tray is knid of handy - and the ramped ends will make it
easier to sweep out.

Shallow draweres were a good idea - no digging through layers
of tools to find something. Go with wooden drawer guides or
metal drawer guides?

Did you spline the apron to the bench top core?

End of the front apron mortise and tenon joined?

With panels between the legs and a frame and panel
inbetween it should be pretty stabile

The bottom stretchers AllThreaded?

Nice bench. Should come in handy on your next project.

Betting this will be your last bench.
