I just finished construction of my dream workbench. I've posted pictures on alt.binaries.pictues.woodworking and you can also see them at my website.
You can also see a detailed description of the construction process at the site.

Mark -

LOL!
That bench is just too beautiful to use. You'll have to build something with an MDF top to use for every day. :-) mahalo, jo4hn
Wow - don't leave that in the shop! Bring it into the living room!
Nice job. When I finished mine, I was afraid to mark it up ;-). I got over it.
Beautiful bench.

The link to the homepage worked for me, but the link to the workbench didn't. It returned a 404 error.
Sorry about that. It should be working now.

I know that feeling. I put so much work into getting everything as perfect as I could. It's hard to turn around and start beating the hell out of it. I just have to remember that is what I built it for.
Thanks for the comments, Mark
It's beautiful. Are you planning on adding more dog holes/apron pegs as the need arises, or is what's there sufficient for you needs?
Thanks.
I considered another row, but I think the single row will do for my needs. With a standard tail vise, I didn't see much benefit to another row of dogs. With a Veritas twin vise it would have been a different story. Plus I figured that woodworkers have been using a single row of dogs for centuries, so it would probably be sufficient for my needs. Only time will tell for sure though.

That's a nice bench. When does your neighbour get to spill the bitumen-paint on it?
