So, after an eternity not being in the workshop due to kids arriving, personal illness and job related stresses I seem to have recently got my life back. And I back into the shop with some enthusiasm.
In the process I have moved hosts and moved to Wordpress. The original workbench articles have been transcribed and uploaded here. I have also had some time to at least do a few things with the bench and I will be updating the bench saga shortly.
I will say however that the bench is everything I hoped it to be and a little more as well. It has really driven some thought about what I really do want from a bench.
As with anything it only through use and experience that you learn the true potential of something.
