28 September 2016 at 2:32 am #140924Coming along nicely, Greg. I wish you a speedy recovery so you can continue and complete the build.
To date, this has been my favorite build. It has challenged me to a new level and I have learned a lot along the way. I love the way Paul teaches in his videos and it allows me to learn at my own pace.

I’m getting really close to finishing, just sanded of the final coat of finish on the base, and am about halfway through putting finish on the top.

Thanks for the compliments, it is starting to shape up finally. You are correct it is made with walnut, I managed to get 60 very ruff board feet from some guy on craigslist for under $3/b.f. I wish he had more i could have bought.
Yes by bench is set up for me being a leftie, it works fine for me. I tend to watch a piece of Paul’s videos then go into the workshop and try out what I just watched. So im not watching and doing at the same time and it works out pretty well.
21 October 2016 at 9:21 pm #141741Great job Greg. Really looking good. I’m sure it’s been an extremely satisfying project.
I finally finished my table, it was a huge learning experience. I learned way to much to sum up how I feel about this project, but I can definitely say it helped me grow tremendously as a woodworker.
