It's kinda small. I would like to see your work. I enjoy seeing what others have done(helps me get motivated). I just can't see it. Can you make it any larger?

Looking good. Don't you just love L Girder benchwork, so easy to work with.

Nice pics. Just "finished" my basic benchwork myself. Mine is a smaller layout, 10 x 10 walk-in. Have a couple pictures on my website. Noticed that you just happened to include Linn Westcott's book in one of your shots. I, too, relied on it as my construction manual and "accidentally" included it in one of the pictures.

With the pics it is hard to tell "depth." How deep (or wide) is your benchwork with the longer joists?

And I'm curious, do you leave your screws in the L of the L girder or not, some do & some don't. It is the glue that provides the structural strength so some take them out.
