Pretty standard trestle base.  Wedged tenons joining 12/4 hard maple.  
The Emmert Vise will hold just about anything just about anywhere!
Bench dogs are made of maple with walnut springs to hold them in place at any height.
The ramps at the end of the tool tray quick cleanups easy - plus they can be slid out of place for complete cleaning.

First real woodworking project.  

Ran into the classic  "I needed a workbench just to build my workbench!"

Lon Schlenning's and Christopher Schwarz's books were invaluable resources.

I borrowed liberally from both (thank you to you both) and then a very good friend gifted the classic Emmert Vice that has been invaluable.


Design or Plan used: Borrowed heavily from Lon Schlenning and Christopher Schwarz
