After looking at and admiring countless beautiful workbenches on here over the past several months, I finally kcked myself into gear and built myself a workbench. I pretty much ripped off Filippo's design (THANKS!),but due to space and more importantly skill limitations, made a smaller, much lower quality version.

I've got a stewmac vise to go on top that isn't installed yet and I haven't put any finish on it (open to any suggestions), so it's not 100% done, but close enough. At any rate, I figured I'd share a few pictures (you may notice the floor is fairly uneven):

I see you also have a rage reducer in your shop. Well done, fellow basher!

Just know unless you got some mega expensive dust control solution, your shop (drum kits, every space you can think of) will be covered in a layer of dust in a few hours of working. It's been a thorn in my side.
