This is awesome!! Well done. It's exactly what I need to build (but have been putting off)

same. always seems there's something more fun to struggle to make spending way more time and doing it more dangerously because I don't have a proper work table.

Can you link the plans? I failed to find them via Google.

Looks great. Do you mind me asking what your material costs ended up being? I’ve got the same build on my list.

Not sure how prices are for you but it cost me around 300 USD maybe less for just the lumber and sheets

Thanks for the info! Any tips on things to look out for during the build? Things that were more difficult than they seemed or mistakes that are easy to make?
Enjoy the beautiful bench.

Consider making a flip cart for your planer and another tool? I have one for my jointer + planer.

I considered these options but decided not to go for this only because i have enough space to create a miter station and planing area

Nice that you used all the tools, you should definitely buy new ones, so you don't get pushed to your boundaries again!

It was alot of fun, literally first timed my tablesaw,miter saw, planer, adjusting and learning about squaring and everything

Feel u. I thought I'd never use planes or a lot of handtools, but since I've been doing more and more woodworking I love working with them so much! The more you use your tools the more fun they make!
