Eric. Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Ouch because we already give him hell about it constantly. Not that I'm any better...I've got many unfinished projects laying around. They just don't happen to be posted in a project journal here for everyone to see...and none of them are my WORKBENCH! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chopnhack Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Fess up Mel, you really didn't clean all that crap up for the picture. you just moved most of it to the driveway. It's what I have to do all the time ;-) Nice progress Mel! Are you concerned at all about wood movement with such a massive slab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llama Posted April 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Thanks. And not really concerned with movement. If it moves I'll flatten it again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
