Workbench in beech
Oct 21, 2010
The workbench is built of beech, but I’ve cheated a bit and bought a 40mm thick beech worktop at IKEA that I have used as a top. I have used two standard Front Vices purchased from Axminster in the UK. The bench has a coat of linseed oil

Great workbench!
I have also been looking at Ikea's "Numerar" counter tops and visited the showroom, but I didn't like that the top was not flat - the glue-joints were raised from the rest. I am not sure also if the slab comes finished with acrylic finish coat or plain. If the slab comes plain, not finished, I am thinking in buying a beech slab of 73-1/4"x39-3/8" (186x100x3.8cm) and take it to a local shop for belt sanding. If this works I will rip the top to 24" and rip a 15" strip. I will rip this 15" strip in 3 and laminate the edges of the 24" slab, giving this a bench top with 3" on the edges.
What do you think about this?
