I delayed making this workbench after researching many designs and styles and not being able to decide on what I liked. I ended up buying the Ash for the top and went from there. My last Workbench had a one meter by two meters top from Particle Board and Dog Holes all over it. I never used the Dog Holes and the Workbench took up too much space in the Workshop. I wanted the new Workbench to be more solid and stable than the last one, small enough to work around yet large enough for most work. I also decided to have no Dog Holes and expensive Vice hardware was not an option on my limited budget. I studied various work holding methods and applied what I found useful. I am sure to come up with new ideas as needs arise. I would be happy to answer any further questions. At the moment the Workbench more than suits my needs and is exactly what I had been looking for.
