    I’m getting ready for the final assembly on my bench and I had a question about the aprons.

    My bench won’t be made to travel like the one Paul makes in the workbench video. As I am gluing up the apron dadoes to the legs, should I still make the wedge, or would it be redundant?

    Here’s my bench all glued up. I have to finish the well and plane up the surface tomorrow. You can see the vise in the picture, it’s a Woodriver vise from Woodcraft. They were on sale last month and it fit nicely into my budget. Just need to add the front vise block. I also want to put a finish on the bench, but keep a bit of a natural look. Maybe Danish oil and shellac. If anyone has suggestions on a finish please let me know. Has anyone used a wipe on poly on theirs?

    Anyway, should have finished pictures up maybe tomorrow. Thanks for looking.

    Looking good Jay, I finished mine with Danish oil, I find it a great finish for a workbench.

    Good job buddy 😉

    My bench is finished. It has some minor flaws but I’m quite happy with it. I put the Danish oil on fairly thick on the top so it took a few days to dry. As someone mentioned, above, a bench this size is a bit light, even though it feels pretty solid. So I’m going to do some add-ons to give it some more weight on the bottom half. It’s more or less ready to work though.

    Thanks everyone… I appreciate the encouragement. I’ve also just finished adding a crossrail under the bench, as was being discussed in the “bench modifications” thread. I posted a quick picture there.
