The local public workshop lacked a decent workbench so I decided to help out and sturdy bench quick and on the cheap. Nothing fancy, fancy is the enemy here. After all, this is a public shop filled with people new to the hobby. I figured the first time anyone used it they'd end up routing a 1/2" groove down the middle of it and spill half a gallon of minwax dark-walnut stain over it.

So about $100 worth of Home Depot spruce 2x6's were purchased and i got to work.

Turns out only getting to work on a bench a two hours a week makes it take a lot longer than expected.
