Beautiful looking benches but at those prices and with how nice they look I would be afraid to even use it. Those are nicer than my dining table.

That was my thinking too. If I want to work on a greasy old motor, I certainly would not want to put it on a really nice looking workbench.

The second I spilled oil or got a stain on a workbench like that and I would immediately start to cry.

Any of those would be the 2nd largest furniture purchase i've ever made. Then once my wife saw the price, I'd probably lose half of everything.

A bit like solid gold horse shoes. If you use them for what they're for you'll ruin their beauty.
If you don't use them at all they serve no purpose.

Nice place to park your double barrel H&H I guess.

Trophy benches. He doesn't have to sell them by the thousands. Any real good woodworker will build his own.

yep but the pictures do serve as an inspiration just like the magazines.

and like the magazines will likely be "frig that, that's insane, too expensive/overkill" for most of us."

Looks more like a bench for some guy to tie thousands of flies on. Some place that will never see a dropped wood chisel or a screw head on a assembly pushed into the bench top.
