I have 5 2x4's in my lamination for my workbench top done. I have maxed out the jaws on one of my clamps, so I have to build another 2 more sets of 5 and find some way to put them all together. The arrangement for the workbench top will be 15 2x4's on edge, 1 2x6 flat and 1 2x4 on edge. This way I have about 16" of work depth with a 6" tool tray and a backer the same height as the front to support long pieces.
This all started because we want to become less dependent on others. Among our other pursuits, woodworking, specifically woodworking the "old fashioned way", will allow us to build and sustain our lifestyle. Without concerning ourselves with the question, "Where's the extension cord".

Finger joints/ Workbench
The rough cut of the finger joints on the long pieces of the "V" top have been cut. Now I have to go back with a chisel, chop out the rest and fine tune. I will then transfer the finger spacing to the side boards and do it all again. Top is on the left, bottom on the right.
