Boring the waste out for the top/leg joints. There are five 1" diameter holes drilled 2" deep for each of four tenons. My 1" bit takes 40 turns to get to a little over 2". For those of you who aren't so handy with the math, that's 800 turns of the brace for the 4 morti. Don't get me started on the dog holes.
I also did a bit of rearranging, there is loads more space in the work room now. Even more space will show itself when I build a lumber rack next weekend. The wood under the bench needs to go. 
And another one cleaned of tools.
That bench looks great... where did you come up with that design? i have to make a bench and i live in a small apartment... may

It's mostly Chris Schwarz's Holtzapffel bench, without the twin screw face vise, a little shorter and a little lower. I forget what issue it's in, but it's a cover project.
