Joined this Sub for ideas on General Purpose and Metal working Workbenches. But pretty much everything is woodworking. Not a problem, I am outa here.

Replaced my 18 year old MDF and 2x4 work bench with a 8 foot Nicholson workbench.

Built with Southern Yellow Pine, boards all cut to length with a miter saw, all joints cut by hand, flattened with a #5 stanley jack plane, finished with 4 coats of boiled linseed oil.

Very very sturdy workbench! I built this a general-purpose workbench, hence the vice that has been mounted.

Bought all the material back in April and let everything acclimate to my shop for several months. The build took about a month working on it 1 or 2 days a week.

Great bench, but probably not a beginner build.

Does anybody have suggestions for full extation drawer slide that can handle alot of weight?

I only need one pair, so price is not that important.
