Like the feet in this workbench:

Yeah, easy enough on the bandsaw. You could pivot the piece on the
nail on your locator board instead of using extra nailsif you wanted.
That's what I'd probably do.

I cut these freehand, bottoms and ends. http://fwd4.me/6oE


Nice. I like the "hollow" in the base between the ends of the feet.
Garrett Hack sketches a hollow
in his workbench diagram, but the feature does not appear in his actual
bench.

Intuitively, seems like stability would be easier to obtain with hollow
(less contact area)

True!

but that the
hollow could create a point of weakness. Maybe there's no such thing as a
weak 4 by 4, I'm not sure.

There is if you cut 3" away.


I like the look of it though.

Ditto. It's the traditional look/style.
