I was inspired by John Tetreault's Ruobo Hybrid workbench and decided to build my own.  I built mine, top included, out of reclaimed Beech wood from the beams of a 19th century Ohio barn.  the 24" chain vise and small tail vise are both from Lie Nielsen.  I use it constantly and it's become one of my favorite tools.  Thanks to John Tetreault and Fine woodworking.

The reclaimed beech is a great choice - it looks fantastic, and I really like the lower shelf you added. Thanks for sharing the photos!
