Welcome! / Forums / General Woodworking Discussions / Projects / My version of a work bench. / Reply To: My version of a work bench.
I started with a prototype for my cabinet. This included trying bottles and cans on the shelves for fit (1st pic). The 2nd pic shows the carcass and the wall where it will hang.
From here it was time to study Paul’s methods for fitting housing dados from the wall clock series. This weekend most do the carcass is complete. The 3rd pic show one of the doors in a rough state.
It still needs:
1) cut a rebate and (latter) mount the plywood back;
2) vertical rails on each side of the cabinet front plus a similar skirt across the top;
3) doors planed, squared and fitted;
4) make a sand paper shelf for the top;
5) wiring and a door operated switch for a light inside;
6) cut an arc on the front of the lower shelf to allow light to shine through to the bottom;
7)!mount a French cleat on the back;
8) oil and wax;
9) mount and start using.
Whew, hope I can complete this by the end of next weekend, I need to work on a clamp rack, my sharpening board, a shooting board, and further enhancements to the bench itself.
Fortunately my wife is relaxed about how soon I actually start working projects for outside of the shop.
