ReplyDeleteThanks Kari!
ReplyDeleteI'm just getting started. :D
I am building my first workbench, but it sure won't look as nice as yours. Outstanding job and workmanship. I think yours is one of my favorite benches with the base cabinet. Almost makes me want to start all over again. Wilson E. Stevens Sr.
ReplyDeleteThanks Wilson. Cabinets in workbench bases are not "recommended", but I wouldn't give mine up. Good luck with yours, and if you post photos I'd like to see them.
