I hope you let 1950Heavymetal know he was getting "front page status" over here on the GJ. I'll bet he will be impressed. I do love what he came up with.

That's a nice looking bench and I'm fond of the decals he put on it.

Wonder how many burn marks will be in the butcher block the first time he welds on the welding part of it? Great execution, but being a relatively new welder I'll bet he didn't think of that one.

Of course he wouldn't weld on the butcher block. Maybe it wasn't clear that when I mentioned "the welding part" I meant the part he build designated for welding projects.
Maybe you've not welded enough to know that welding spatter goes a fair distance from where you're actually laying a bead. Little tiny beads of this spatter are very likely to end up landing on the butcher block.

I just purchased a 72" bench very similar to this one, but it has two jack-screws that move the top up and down so it can be used as a bench or a desk.
