Thank goodness for dad's adjustable height workstations on casters cause I wasn't carying these things at likely 200+lbs each.
. All I can say is I'm glad we keep our dull blades cause the nails are eating them up! Last 2 pictures are a couple legs that were to pretty to toss so they got patched up.
Don't know what you'd call it? It will be loaded with drawers, cabinets, vise, anvils, etc 24" wide and 20ft long.
I used tight bond wood glue on most but did use some poly on the boards that tie it together. Main reason was all of the splits in the wood, I felt it would do a better job where the runny glue would seep away into the cracks? We'll see but I've found it to be extremely strong just a real mess to wash off. The other thing I was thinking about was all the hammering this thing will see, poly has give where other wood glues either hold or break?? Experimenting I guess.
Definitely getting stained, I'll play around on some scrap but thinking maybe English Chestnut or Brown Mahogany? The base will likely get lacqer and the top will just get saturated with Linseed oil.
Chestnut is worth a lot until you try and sell it.
