It all started here while wondering how many people have used the back-side of their bench hook as a cutting board?
I have mattboard around because I use it for my portfolio at shows. I got the idea for this set-up from Gregg Lipton. You can barely see that the cherry sticks are held in their dados by a small, counter-sunk steel screw.
I use leftovers as cauls. They are so light that they often stay in place using just one piece of drafting tape to hold. I don't use it with heavy bar clamps but these k-bodies have never dented and give me plenty of pressure.
This 5 foot long bench will be juried next week as my submission for the 2009 Furniture Masters' auction. This is the first dry fit for the rungs on both ends. I can now take an inside measurement to get the interior length of my cross-struts. Off I go.
