That’s a beauty. A bit large for my space but if I had the chance I’d surely be tempted to try to shoehorn it in.

Fortunately, for me, I have many other concerns to tend to.

Is your Mustard Monster on wheels?

Wow! Nice find. A good bench is key to good work. Did it come with metal or wood dogs?

That's not a shop bench! It's a piece of furniture!:D

Best wishes!

The guy who bought it was from Covington, KY and was buying it as a retirement gift for one of his buddies.

Yes, it's on Zambus AC-300S leveling casters. My basement shop floor is sloped so each retractable caster has a different thickness wood shim under it. Even with shims, the thing hasn't moved a centimeter even with some out of balance pieces I've done. Very happy with them.

It has 2 metal dogs that didn't get into any of the pictures.

Copy the metal dogs in wood, especially if you are going to use planes. That way if you nick a dog you don't ding a blade and spend hours working it out. I use yellow heart for my dogs. Looks really nice and is very hard.

Thanks for the good idea.
