I have been wanting a bench in the garage. Finally just did it. Illinois white oak and lots of 3" screws.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190525/bf57df6653fe8e779152b2ab06d6c2fd.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190525/b9c4a6d6ea977bc49e8a4749005325b4.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190525/cf285ec5d388de9487542ed30605856f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190525/4f603c4eef98fa419210829b00368363.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190525/ed9ac5f5d8df7e4a103c2bd180b6e43b.jpg

Now you got to cover it with reloading stuff .... or other tools.

OH NO!! Not a horizontal surface! You should've asked me before building that I would've told ya it's just gonna collect all sorts of stuff! It starts small with a few odd nuts and bolts then progress to tools, camping equipment and drill presses and lathes and such. Before you know it you'll build another bench so you have something to work on and then you know your done for! Sorry I didn't warn you sooner.

Nice! Of course it is good to have pictures so you can prove it is "sometimes" cleared off. :-)

Hot lead or hot lead filled mold on white oak. That will smell really nice. At least smell way better than what the nasty OSB top I turned to charcoal in one spot with 10 lbs. of hot lead in a bread loaf pan. Might as well just get it over with. Go spill some paint on it, drip some hot scorching lead on it, or maybe my personal favorite. Screw the work to the bench by using a tad too long of screw.

Looks like you have your work and some fun ahead.

Looks good, but next month you will ask yourself why didn't I make it twice this long!

Built a lot of stuff out of rough cut oak, picnic tables, shooting benches, chairs, cribs, barn floors. Hard to drive nails in though , when battery drills and dry wall screws hit the farm it was on.

Looks good.

I could justify buying 3 more power tools for a project like that.

Dewalt impact drill driver had no problem with 3 inch deck screws in oak.
