I built this work bench 28 years ago. It was my first real woodworking project with my new table saw. I bought the 24x60 hard maple top and built the base from poplar. Everything is glued, screwed or bolted together. It has a sliding stop and a Record vise too. Originally it was a stationary bench, but I soon added wheels so I'd get more use and save space too. Recently, I removed the top to clean it up a bit. It's been used for a lot more than woodworking over the years and needed a refresh. I put two coats of linseed oil on the top and it's much nicer now. Used tung oil on the poplar base years ago. I just wiped it down with a Murphy oil and water mixture.

The original plan had a tool well, but didn't include that. I thought it might be too cumbersome to work around. Now, after all these years, I added a removable tool caddy at one end make from wood scraps. Super functional and a fun little project in itself.
