I'll second Phil's comments.
Getting your bench completed is really a badge of honor. Think of all the skills you now posess that you did not at the beginning of the process. Yeah, you did well and you've got a heck of a "prize" to show for it.
There are more than 26 pages to this thread and I think I've read every one. However, I think this is my first post on it. I'm glad I got to see the finished project.
Perhaps that beer-to-work ratio fix deserves a "pinkies up" beer.
Congratulations!

Great job, great thread
You have definitely been an inspiration for me. I can only hope mine turns out as nicely.
I'm looking forward to seeing your next project/adventure!

Wow, that's very impressive. The way it's laid out looks like you spent as much time planning it as you did building it.
Very nice work.

Job well done CT! Congratulations, that bench is a work of art.
I hope you enjoy working on it as much as we have watching you build this bench!

Wow, that's a great bench and an inspirational story. I hope you sign it, and put a copy of this thread somewhere inside for your great grandchildren to find. If you print it out and attach it to the underside of the cabinet, they won't need to find an antique computer.
Imagine the pleasure of working on such a bench. I'm still at the pile of maple in the basement stage.

First, awesome bench and an awesome effort. I aspire to do the same when I find a spare year!
I second evenfall's recommendation of a web article. You have most of the content for step by step, I think it would make a great story.
Congratulations!
