Thank you Matt Kenney and Mike Pekovich for the wonderful plans for this dream workbench. It is the most fun I have had making anything, and I wish I could make another one. If you’re thinking about getting into one of these I think the overall cost was in the $2000 range for materials, and it took me over 200 hours to make. But, if you don’t go with cherry and hard maple, and solid birch for the drawers, you could do it for a lot less and still have a very nice bench. I loved what Matt and Mike did so much though that I only changed the color, and added the tool catch into the top. My one regret is that there is no tail vise. I want some sort of work holding device at the tail of the bench and plan on modifying it someday to incorporate a sliding bench dog or something like that.
