Reply:Thanks all for the comments! Insaneride, that is a great suggestion I will have to design something. I did  over build  and should have used 1/8in. I used 2" square tube for the legs and 2"x3" rectangle tube for the front apron. For the draw apron i used 2"x3" angle and cut out a slot for the draw. All the steel is 3/16.Very heavy. The finish is just some grinding and a few coats of wax. For the top the slab is made of pine. The dimensions are 29" high 51" long and 20" wide

Reply:I like the grinder marks. Seems to tie it together with a distressed look.
Reply:what does a wood slab like that cost?  i got about 5 of them in my shop that was handed down to me
Reply:first project? love the dovetails
Reply:Oxy Moron it depends on the type or wood. This is pine I payed $100.00  and the slab was about 90" long and 3' wide. Ninz first metal project! Some of my woodworking experience carried over. I really am starting to like working  with metal but it really is starting to get expensive  buying new tools for metal work.
