I’ve been hammering away on this job, trying to get things wrapped up, so sorry for the delay in new content. I thought the job was just about wrapped up, but turns out the guys want one more piece, so here we go again. So of the new total of 5, 3 pieces are finished, done, out the door and delivered already… the main piece, the entry counter is well under way, and I hope to have it delivered by weeks end. The final piece will be about a week behind that… so THEN I’ll start back on the projects than I am sure you are just dying to see. Right? Right…

So here’s a few shots of the workbenches I build for the guys… very utilitarian stuff, but it serves their needs. All the base joinery is mitered half-lap joints, glued and finish nailed. The tops are a double lamination of 3/4 plywood, so they are beefy and hell for stout, perfect work counter, and wrapped with a solid wood edging to protect the plywood edges. The benches aren’t quite finished in these shots, but you get the idea…





Now I am trying to get the front counter wrapped up… the side pieces are dovetailed to the top, and are quite long. I struggled a while trying to figure out the best way to cut the dovetails, and finally came up with this solution. Probably not OSHA approved methodology, but it worked…
