We moved i. this place a year ago and all i have had to work out of until now is a carport. I got the K5 out on the road again so now theres room to build some benches and move onto bigger and better tools. I'M picking up some lumber tomorrow to get started on the changes so I can move out of my little corner and use the whole space. I'll pot picks as it progresses.

Great to see you getting to start working on your shop.

I would like to suggest maybe putting two fasteners in every location instead of one on your bench. The second one will hold it in place whereas 1 carriage bolt will allow it to move around.

I was originally going to put two in on the front and back. Crossing them through both sides really made it rock solid and ***** the 4x4 tight to the frame.
