Warden Callaway Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 In by insomniac hours I put together the workbench. It would have been nice to have a helper but I improvised and struggled on by myself. It meets my expectations and will be well worth what it cost for what I'm going to use it for - mainly craft work and maybe some video shoots. I got Gorilla glue but didn't use it on the frame. It seems penty solid. And I figured I could snug up the bolts as needed or even come back and glue up wiggly joints. I did use glue on the drawers. The cross tie board under the drawers is a joke. It looks like it's made of some pressed paper. The screws went in about like pushing a thumbtack into a corkboard. I'll replace it with real wood. The drawers don't glide in and out worth a darn. But they seem to be working better after being exercised a few times. I talked about adding some filler block behind the trim around the top. But I just got to thinking it may be even better to make like a 2x2 trim of oak around the outside to make an edge to clamp to. Maybe walnut? That would be a nice upgrade.
