Hugh, it looks great, good job! But you can't just make an offhand comment like "...I had to make a flush-cut saw...." and not expect any questions. Now you gotta tell us about that.
Ha - it didn't work all that well on these thick maple dowels - I reverted to a regular saw and planed off the stub (incidentally, it was a busted dozukime with the spine removed).

Very, very nice!
Hey, could we see a better pic of the cabinet sitting on the bench in pic number 2?
It looks like some sort of wall mounted tool cabinet.
Thanks - my next big project to finish (it's from 1912). Got the wings done...

This is the best, most inspiring post I've ever seen on Woodnet!
Do you have a blog I can follow?
Hold on there, Hoss - the only inspiring I do happens every 6 seconds or so. And no.

Really nice job on the bench, it looks great and very functional. I also remember when you bought that and the old tool cabinet as well. Looking forward to seeing the finished projects.
Thanks for sharing !

Thanks for posting the pic.
I really enjoy looking at old tool cabinets.

Nice bench and an excellent modification to suite your needs. Is the tool cabinet user made or an early commercial example. I have an old Keen Kutter one I picked up from an estate sale in a very old Kansas City neighborhood. It was listed in KK's 1905 catalog. It reminds me a bit of yours.

I say it's inspiring because I've been diagnosed with Devic's Disease. There's a chance I'll lose the use of my legs in the coming years and your post gave me hope for my future and still being able to work with wood.
