re: My Workbench Build

Thank you all.

Manitario,
I know I’m staining it dark walnut.
After that, I’ve been swaying back and forth between shellac or BLO. Well I just came from town and, since the store was out of shellac, I’m using BLO.

Mike,
My router would not extend enough to bore through five inches of wood, and I wanted the holes to go all the way through so saw dust would not get packed into them. So I started the holes by drilling as deep as I could with a forstner bit. Then I bored on through with an auger bit, like the ones electricians use.
