re: Glue Up and Final Assembly

Thank you all for the great comments. I still have about 30 tasks to complete before putting the finish on. I will add a final blog entry in about a month or so once these are done, I’ll take some pics along the way. Once again I want to thank the crew. In the 2 photos of us all, we have from left to right…me on the far left, Watsy, Kurt, murph, and, on the right is my son Jeff. The project took about 70 hours so far. About 5 litres of glue. The cost is enough to give wifey a heart attack, but it includes 4 Vises and about 40 tools that I have been wanting for a while. So I will just say that it has been well worth the time and effort for a bench that should last a couple hundred years. And lastly, thanks to everyone that has followed along, posted questions and suggestions, those kind works of encouragement went a long way. The build was a lot of fun for me and doing the blog helped me to stay focused. Thanks for following!
