That's my plan. But I'll just use the jointer to clean up the top side of each piece (after checking for metal and scrubbing it real well with a wire brush...remember that chunk of brass in yours? I've found 2 drywall screws and a couple of nails and staples in mine!!!). There is enough slop in the bolt holes to allow for some variability in thickness if you reassemble it top side down on a flat surface. Plan to use some 2X4 cauls clamped on edge to keep it flat against my assembly table and tighten the bolts. This is the only way they could have assembled it in the beginning as the bottom of each piece is rough and puting it through a planer would telegraph through to the top. | |

Snappy-looking work. It will be heavy-duty, and up to the task.

Does anyone know of a cabinet shop in Charlotte that might have a 36"+ drum sander?

Mike - mind if I do this project with you? I got a bunch of wormy RO over here I need to do something with, so I figured it would make it into a fancy bench. So far I need 4 3"sq legs - what will be the final length of the legs?
I figured I would make the top out of face joined RO (like a big butcher block), that way the edge grain will be showing and a bit stronger than if it were edge joined, what is the dimention of your top (L/W/T)?
I should be able to start on it after next weekend - I got a bunch of lumber in the shop waiting for Scott's kiln to open up.
Thanks

Thanks Jeff that would be fun to do. I've just emailed you the drawings I did in Sketchup. The top is 69" x 36" x 2 7/8". I think face joined would be the way to go and this top is done the same way.

Made a little more progress on the base last night. I cleaned the majority of the glue on the legs and will run them through the planer tonight to bring them to final dimensions. 
Then cut the feet pieces to length and glued them up. The picture below is both feet glued and clamped together. Each foot is 3 pieces of 1"x3"X36" Black Walnut.

Atleast one of us is making sawdust!! I'm happier with it being used, making saw dust than collecting dust in my shop/basement

Thanks I will probably do some drawers, but I want to see how everything comes together first. I also have a vise the Gotojeremy gave me that will work perfectly.

Could you point me to the vise you got and are there any plans for dogs? - just trying to figure what I need to round up.
I think I need to rip a bunch of 3" boards
Always wanted to build a cool WW'ing bench looks like nows the time...
