Figuring on This (The Low Workbench)
The first page is totally off the wall and was only my brainstorming. The second drawing is what I am building. The parts list is already kitted as I cut all the parts on my table saw today. Assembly should start tomorrow but I have a boatload of honey-do's. <sigh>

The project is underway! I am posting an article under the WOOD tab. Here is a link. http://thehobbyistworkshop.com/jla/index.php/wood/low-work-bench
Time sure flies. Weekends have been full of family activities so bench work was grounded. What's left is putting some sort of finish on the wood. I am thinking of putting a cutting pad on the surface like a place mat, not glued down. They do need replaced from time to time. It's a holiday weekend so maybe I can wrap it up...
Noah would have enjoyed this week end. Not continuous rain but raining every day. I can cut the humidity with a knife. I sweat like a lawn sprinkler and drops are falling everywhere. I did get some shellac finish on the bench project this weekend. I added some pictures over in the main section, listed in my first comment.
The bench is finished and installed. It works as good as I thought it would. I produced a 2 1/2 minute video that shows the sliding bench in action. This was a great project and I enjoyed building this shop accessory. I have a few things I want to add but now I have to start using it.
