Hey, nice workbench! You did a great job on it. I think I recall
seeing your bench posted on an earlier thread, and admiring the great
job you did. The website also does a great job documenting the
construction.

I've made a few handcut dovetails previously (on smaller items), but
this was the first time I've done double dovetails. Honestly, they
are not very difficult and these are far from perfect -- you just
can't see the little gaps very well in the pictures. The only thing
about making really large ones is that there's a lot of wood you have
to hog away, so it's a good idea to drill most of it out with a
Forstner bit on the drill press.

The through dovetails on your bench are well made and are very strong,
and I am sure they will last you a very long time.

Well maybe I'll do the double dovetails on my next bench, in another
twenty years or so. :-)
