I’m almost ready to start assembling my workbench. It’s a Paul Sellers design from the YouTube videos – 7ft long 3ft wide with a central tool well. I’m using wedges but not sure what to make them out of. On the blog photos it looks like they’re a different wood – might be oak? Question is does it matter? Is it better to use a hardwood?
Cheers

Im sure you will have some that say they must be one or the other. I think i used oak for mine because i had offcuts. The softer wood will yield to the harder, but i rarely take mine apart except for moving which has been twice in 5 years.
BrianJThanks – I’ve got some small pieces of oak so I’ll give them a try.
I’m not going to be taking it apart often – hopefully never – but it’s nice to have the option. There’s no prospect of moving it in one piece I don’t think!
Cheers
