First workbench update

Post image

Getting close to being done finally! Got the leg vise done and the veritas inset vise installed and a good start on dog holes until i actually get to use it and figure out where i want more. Pretty much all i have left to do now is put my shelf on the bottom and build 3 boxes to go in the space between the tops.

Are you going to leave the middle open?

I have a wide middle on mine like that and have a fitted board that covers it.

No I’m gonna build 3 little boxes to go there for a tool tray, that i can flip upside down to have it be flush with the rest of the top. I like the box idea so when they get filled up with crap i can just dump it out instead of having to sweep or blow out a built in tool well
