1000.5- EAA Workbench #1

Workshop- 2 hrs 45 mins (2:45 Total)

     With the help of -L, we cut and assembled a Standard EAA workbench. Without a proper bench to make the bench on, we assembled it on the floor of the garage and on the giant cardboard box from the table saw I purchased way back when. It still turned out square and true with basic wood shop tools. The camera settings for a time-lapse video were wrong, with low res pictures and the interval set for far too much time. I'm not even going to bother posting it.
     Plans for the bench can be sourced here: http://www.eaa1000.av.org/technicl/worktabl/worktabl.htm. Plans for the gear to facilitate movement can be found here: http://www.eaa.org/sportaviationmag/1001/RetractableGear.pdf
I'll likely make another (longer) bench later on. I did learn that the standard bench is too low for my liking, so I think adding a set of casters to raise it will make this bench ideal and mobile for easy use. I'll need to mess around with some numbers. -M
