<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 333167, member: 54&quot;][ATTACH=full]111556[/ATTACH] No we don’t care about authenticity with this one.&nbsp; The whole 7’ x 3.5’ bench is a one-off shop-made thing anyway so we’re doing what we need to do to make it useful again.&nbsp; The old yellow-pine-plank top is in tough shape, oily, holed, and beat-up on top so we opted for the easy way out and got a piece of Home Depot “best” 3/4” plywood and had them cut it to size, and it’ll be fastened on top of the old wood with a couple dozen flat-top wood screws.&nbsp; I gave them clearly written dimensions and they screwed it up, cutting off 1” too much on the long side.&nbsp; I didn’t measure it before I left the store because I saw the panel saw operator measure it off twice in both directions.&nbsp; But he still screwed up, no idea why.&nbsp; If he just wanted to p-ss me off he failed because I’m just too busy to take it back, we’ll use as is and make the shorted side the back of the bench where it won’t matter.&nbsp; I’ll post an “after” photo later, the helper in pic returns tomorrow to finish it.&nbsp; We’re also adding a plywood shelf on top of the lower support frame where we’ll store some heavy stuff, at least 1/2 ton-worth that we have to store anyway. That’ll keep the bench from moving around during use.&nbsp; We’re going to mount a large vise on one corner and due to the way we use those, they have to be on a pretty well-anchored platform.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
