   Wonderful video series. Well photographed. John did an excellent job of explaining each step. I'll probably watch this several more times. So much to learn from it.
   Thank you for producing it.

   Well what can I say except Bravo! Only wish I had seen this before the Monster workbench by Matt; Glad you included fastening top to base in the process.
   Thanks
   Got really great detailed information that is priceless....

   I'm very impressed with this bench build and I see it was built a number of years ago. Also, I noted that it appears that the shop it was ending up in looked like it is not in a conditioned space and in New England.
   Is there a chance to get a follow-up to understand if there have been any problems with the top coming apart due to being locked too tight to the legs to account for the seasonal wood movement.
   I am sensitive because the top on my 4' wide top has broken apart significantly due to my failure to take that into consideration. My school of hard knocks...

   If that has been a problem with this design, could we get an updated recommendation for how to connect the top?

   I’d like to agree with user-6958929 for different but the same reasons. I live in Houston. Because the water table is 6 inches below ground, we have no basements. Our garage is our shop. In the summer it’s regularly 105 degrees and 85 to 100 percent humidity. Summer lasts 6 months and winter lasts two weeks. I’m very concerned about wood movement. This looks to be wonderfully designed and well supported. I’m curious how the top has fared with time.
