I've been stealing a few hours here and there. <p><img src="https://people.xiph.org/~xiphmont/pics/NH/Bork-I.jpg"> <p>I finally completed initial assembly of the prototype/archetype workbench I'll be using in the workshop. Design criteria: <ol> <li>Inexpensive materials <li>No fussy joints; it's all flat-stock glue & screw. <li>Stong and rigid; top section is a 7.5"-thick box-beam that will take a sledgehammer blow. <li>Easily replaceable top surface; it's just a trimmed sheet of 3/4" particle board with some optional edging. <li>Storage; &quot;I could count myself the king of infinite space were it not that I needed more flat surfaces.&quot; <li>Drawers are just an optional insert. <li>Disassemblable; it tears down into several flat panels. </li></li></li></li></li></li></li></ol> <p>I have dubbed the design 'Bork', which is either short for Borkwench, or alternatively in honor of Ikea. Your pick. <p>The assembly fit is a little subpar as it was the working development prototype, but I think it's also good enough to be the first production unit. Now for a bunch more.</p></p></p></p></p><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=xiphmont&ditemid=88762" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://xiphmont.dreamwidth.org/88762.html nh workbenchapalooza2017 workshop bork public 4
