Thanks!No, leaving them oversized when gluing in the strips gives you a little wiggle room to get everything lined up nicely.

Thank you!

Thanks, I'm very fortunate to have the shop that I do but, it certainly doesn't take a shop like that to produce these frames. Provided you have flat/square lumber and a way to cut rabbets and clean miters, anyone can make these.

Thank you, I'm sure three will be more requests as well.

Thanks! Depending on the chosen material for the back portion of the frame, the wire could definitely be hung there. If you decide to use plywood or partical board, I don't think that would hold up to the weight of the frame and canvas. You should be fine with hardwoods though.

Thank you for the kind words!

Solid tip for stuff like this! Being the opposite end, I didn't really feel the need and haven't had any issues with this. The good part is that the blocks can be removed and those chamfers added if it were an issue. Thanks for the well thought out comment! It's much appreciated!

Thank you very much!

Thank you. I've had these jigs in my shop for many years. The new table saw forced me to build new ones because they are useful and I do use them.

Thank you for the kind words!

Hmm.. Thanks for the heads up.. I'll ask my web person to take a look at that and see if I can fix it. In all honesty, I'm really not interested in anyone's private info.

I'm still new to how all this works so, I added a set of plans in the final step.. Apologies for any inconvenience and I really appreciate the feedback.

Thank you!

Thanks! I actually built 2 of these at the same time and the other one was for my wife's quilting room. Her's is just a little taller.

Thank you very much for the kind words!

Thanks!! I'll try to thin out the green stuff if I can ;)

Thank you!

Thanks for including me in this build! Was actually pretty quick to do and they'll make awesome gifts!

That's awesome! Don't hesitate to use my email if you have questions along the way!

No problem at all, I'm happy to help!

Thanks!

That's an interesting thought.. The short answer is no. However, if you were to use 1/4" hard board over a poplar top and make it replaceable that would probably hold up over time by simply replacing the inexpensive hardboard.

Thanks! I actually have a Roubo with the BC hardware so, understand well the features that a good bench should have for woodworking. This bench was intended to put those basics in place so that it can grow with the wood worker. Thank you so much for the kind words!

I can certainly understand your point of view. However, a serious woodworking bench could see that number just in the hardware. This bench puts you in place to add that hardware when you're ready without having to rebuild the bench and getting great use out of it in the mean time.Also, you certainly don't have to run out and buy all the material at once. It's a project that lends itself well by working on a section at a time as funds and materials allow.Thanks so much for looking!
