Joshua Luther Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 So I wanted to show my workbench here that I just recently finished this week. The whole build took me longer than it should've just because of everything else going on in my life. Right when I was nearing the end of the build, I came down with pneumonia that really took the wind out of my sails. Literally. So I was really happy that I was able to get out into the shop over the weekend and finish it up. I am still in the process of flattening it with my Stanley Bedrock 605 and putting a finish on it. Also what finish would you guys recommend for this that isn't too expensive? Would BLO be ok for it? Anyway, here is the video that I made and posted to my YouTube channel. Hope you enjoy it!http://youtu.be/7qhjQrBAoIY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric. Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 BLO will yellow white woods. I put it on mine thinking, "meh, who cares?" because it's "just a bench." But turns out a big banana in my shop isn't my favorite thing. It's mellowed over the years to a more natural color but I still wouldn't recommend it. Natural Danish oil would probably be better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaneymack Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 I agree with Eric on the danish oil. Super easy to apply, looks great and really easy to re apply in a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
