A few months ago, I completed what (I hope) will be the last workbench build that I will do. Motivated by a need for more floor space in my workshop, a need to have a smooth and reliable work surface, and of course my desire to make everything fancy, I created my best maker workbench.
This workbench is built from Bolivian Rosewood (or Pau Ferro) and Ash with a little Ebony added as trim. I threw in some brass to take it over the top and here we are.
In this video I have added some of the thoughts I was having both during the build and now looking back on the build.
I hope you enjoy watching my journey to both itchy town and glue town!
