I’ve recently moved to a shelf that sits flush with the top of the stretchers on my benches. It’s way easier to use my brush to clean shavings and whatnot off. I used to set the shelf down an inch or so but it was always full of debris. I suppose the trough approach might be useful on a ship, but unnecessary on dry land where the bench doesn’t move! Hahahahaha. These tongue and grooved shelf boards will receive some shellac later tonight… #condortails #madeinusa #madeinmichigan #Benchcrafted #woodshop #workshop #woodwork #handmade #cherry #beech #workbench #roubo #tenon #dovetail #legvise #wagonwheel #woodworking #mcmfurniture #lienielsen #whiteoak http://ift.tt/1WI5Y34
