I hope this thread stays alive, I'm in the design stage of my new bench and there sure seems like a lot of good info contained in this collection. If I only had time to read it all!

This thread has gotten painful to read in threaded mode.

This one has probably been my favorite thread over the last year, and I'm jealous of and applaud CT's work here, but...
... I'm sorry, purple wood is just WRONG.

Bump for a great thread about a great bench...
How's it treating you after some use, CT?

But you have to admit, it's got character! 
The bench has been working out very well. I can't imagine woodworking without it now!
What's funny is I've gotten so used to it, and the thrill of finally finishing it has mostly worn off now. So when some friends from work came over a couple days ago, it didn't immediately occur to me to show it off. Then without any prompting they go, "wow! look at that workbench! Where did you get that?" "I built it." "No way!" And I get the warm fuzzies all over again.

really considered a tool tray. It would work better with the size and shape of the material I have to work with. But I don't think I want one because it would mean I couldn't clamp anything with like C clamps along that side.
Why not make a removable tool tray...one that can be clamped or bolted to the side of your bench when wanted and removed when it inteferes with a project.. I would not want a tray that couldn't be removed...
