I was planning on beefing up mine like this. No cross braces or stretchers supporting those lengths of wood. Are they just hanging from the top with glue?
This is exactly what I planned to do with my harbor cheese bench. It's nice to see someone else's take on it. Thank you. If anyone reads this, I do have one question. How would you true up your lumber without the planer used here? I've got a belt and orbital sander, but am not a woodworker therefore I'm not comfortable investing in the planer. My bench will be used for custom locksmith work, that will need to be able to withstand light pounding on the bench vise, as well as a few key machines and micro mills.
@@beardedshenanigans3742 10-4 Thank you much. I've also contemplated buying an electric planer from Walmart and then returning it when done 🤣, but I think I'll use the belt sander.
Doing this totally negates the use of the dog holes provided in the top, where clamps for securing and squaring projects could be done ... if any work requires dog hole devices that are deeper than the depth of the original top, or access to the underside. After watching Part. 3, I see that some of the original functionality of the dog holes and pegs are still in place....

A belt sander with an aggressive grit should work with a little elbow grease.

Does anyone know what auger bit size was used to drill the 3 holes for the vice?
3/4" auger
so , next video, watch the legs break from improving the top, and building new legs, lol
That would be my luck. So far so good.
2" hardwood legs should be sufficient, if you don't dance on it or stress the bench sideways...
