My first bench is a work in progress. 1st pic is a before and after for the top. I got a 50 year old oak butcher block table top, cut out a damaged section, joined it back together, cut it to size, capped the ends and sanded off the original finish. 2nd pic is my bench frame that I got from work. We bought a bunch of these from a company that was liquidating. We got more than we needed and one of the owners was nice enough to let me have this one. It's heavy steel, adjustable and really solid. I'll be building a set of shelves and backing them with pegboard and I'll hang an LED work light from the overhead bar. I'm thinking of getting a rolling tool chest to slide under it to use as a set of drawers. The 3rd pic is the top after a couple coats of Danish oil. The holes closest to the camera are for my Ultramount and the grid of holes are threaded inserts I installed to use as anchors for my powder throw, case trimmer etc, which will be mounted on 3/4" oak boards. I'll plug the countersunk holes with nice brass screws when they're not in use. I wanted to do a t-track but I was too much of a puss to run the router across the top after this much work. You only get one shot at that and I'm sure I would find a way to screw it up. A drill is much more my speed.
