George… that’s a good point. When I first decided to take on woodworking, and convert the small shop I had been using to restore antiques, I rushed out and bought a bench at HF without doing much research, and, of course, it turned out to be not very good. Fortunately, my plan is to use this bench for gluing, assembling, sharpening, etc… freeing up my new bench for the serious work. My shop is a small utility room, and I have knocked the shelving out of a wide closet in there, which fits the HF bench perfectly… painted the inside, put up some smaller overhead shelves… it’s going to be a useful little cubby.
Barry… thanks for those links, that is exactly what I was wondering about. Mine’s going to be even slightly smaller than that, but now I’m feeling more confident about it.
The gluing went pretty well and I’m going to be planing the bench top soon. 🙂
