I am interested in building a similar workbench but was considering gluing the top on a board-by-board basis instead of by sections. Since bending rigidity is governed by the cube of the section thickness, much less force (<1%) will be required for each gluing if only one additional board is glued each time to the top rather than gluing sections of five boards each(since 5^3=125). Comments? Thanks.
