Nice!

Pretty much finished my bench today, very happy with how its turned out.
Vice went in ok with the help of a 32mm forstner bit to sink the bolts. The plywood sheet is bolted down in each corner with T nuts smacked into the underside of the laminated top.
The axminster adjustable feet are excellent, defo recommend them for leveling stuff.
It’s an absoulte bitch to move around, had to use a trolly jack to help level it.

For anyone who needs electronics wire cutters, Amazon have a couple of bargains at the moment:

These are both normally between £50 and £60

the need to buy a new screwdriver set is high

Facom or Wera
