so for some reason I'm so busy with work and all my little projects recently that I can't really sleep and wind down or relax.
So I started a late night/midnight project called building a workbench top with only the use of classic hand tools Which I collected over the years.
Also I'm using mostly scrap wood that is highly bowed, warped and twisted. Just to make it more of a challenge...

gluing the studs and leaving some space for 'dog holes' |

planning the top to get it somewhat level |
So the basic idea is to get some support in the future for cutting mortises, tenons and other stuff. Still need to somehow figure out how to build a vise.
