First of the two laminated tops!
[Special thanks to Dave Riendeau (@dave) who suggested to use clamping cauls: this method has really made the difference for me!
I simply used soft wax to create a layer between the surfaces of the bench top and the face of the pieces used for clamping.][I’ve used two cheap L-shaped aluminium moulding to check the surface]

Your bench is really looking good Emilio. Very nice.
Nice work Emilio. Your top looks very clean and flat. The wood you are using looks fairly clear – or at least the knots are very small and sparse. Dimensional lumber where I live usually has big knots that are hard to avoid.
Glad you got the cauls working Emilio, they really help keep things aligned during that slippery gooey glue up 🙂
Looking good, Emilio!
Looks really flat and very nicely planed! Wood looks nice as the others have said.
A really nice and tidy build there mate.
Thank you for your encouraging replies!
