Niiiice. Good job with it all. It's always great to work with things you've built yourself.

Good job! I also believe in overkill. The legs on my bench's are 4" X 4" and it is also all made from scrap lumber.

I had to take the pics 3 times because every time I discovered junk in the pics
I took extra care to make good pics because as I said, it will probably never look like this again.

Very well done Bruno.
I especially like the extension for the drill press!
