OT wood working bench

I picked up this vintage carpenters bench today. Awesome piece. After a little TLC it will be a great addition to my shop.

Man, that is a beauty. Plenty of holes for dawgs. Is the right corner, the green section, reinforced with metal? Looking forward to seeing what it looks like all cleaned up.

It had three coats of paint on every surface. Cleaned up nice!

I love the vibe that brings the shop, such a good job on the clean up and resto.

Thanks, it really is a cool piece. I've been trying to get away from using so many power tools with my woodworking. This bench is a nice reminder of how woodworkers used to build. Very inspirational to work on this bench!!

It would be awesome to build a snare with no electricity!!

Hi,
beautiful work bench.
I got a lot of high quality machines but working with a sharp hand plane always touches my heart.

I can't get over how awesome this is. I keep coming back just to look at how beautiful it looks after the clean up!

I'm going to have to start looking for one... And take up woodworking....

Excellent job.

I'm envious - not just of the bench but of the shop space. In my next house maybe....
