After working WAY too many hours this pay period (not complaining, I'm forunate to get hours) I get a chance to work along side Jeremy (Woodwrangler) this Friday. I am going to attempt a workbench too, and very much look forward to learning from a pro. It is still a daunting project, but at least I won't be by myself. I know I'll learn a lot and have good company. It should be a blast, and I will post pics with my progress. I am doing my bench out of a bunch of 8/4 and 10/4 Sapele I have laying around. It should be a very attractive bench at the very least.
