Nicely done.

I really enjoy yours and Jonathan's workbench threads.

Congrats, everything everybody said and more... excellent work of art. I hope you don't mind if I ever build a bench like yours maybe with a different hardwood other than purpleheart even though that contrast looks original and beautiful.

Hey Skew;

Maybe CT should copyright that look?????

Well CT, That is a very very beautiful bench. I'm almost sorry to hear that it is done. This has been one of my favorite threads. In fact I think it was this thread that first clued me into the existence of Woodnet. I did a google search for "workbench" and somewhere down the list this tread was there.

Thanks for sharing it all with us.

Ps. What are you going to make next?

Great bench. You have really inspired me to build a cabinet for my bench. Now I have to decide on wood to use.

Nice job, and congrats. Feels great, doesn't it.

And even better, the benchtop is already covered in stuff

CT,

I'd like to add my congratulations to your growing and well deserved list of kudos. Your bench was a labor of love and a truly fine accomplishment. I know you will enjoy it. I have certainly enjoyed mine. Others have said that a bench is the most important tool in your shop. I didn't realize what they meant until I finished mine. Now I don't know how I got along without it all those years. The only downside to your finishing your bench is that this thread will end. It has been one of the best I've read on the internet. I looked forward to your posts about your progress and the spirited discussion about the various problems you encountered, questions you raised and the many fine attributes of your bench. I hate to see it end. But all for a great cause. And now for your next project .....

There just aren't enough of these little faces to express it.

So bravo!!! That is one of the best looking benches I’ve ever seen. Thanks for letting us follow you all the way.


We’re going to be bumping this thread for years.

Very nice, CT! We'll expect lots of pics of projects being built on that bench.

...and now that you've got the process down, can you knock me one out in maple and rosewood by next weekend?

i read somewhere in this thread that this is just the first bench. you thought of improvements along the way. so, have you started the next? did the addiction to bench creation continue?
