The shop is a sacred place. With the size and complexity of many of the projects that we take on, one thing was known for sure, that a large heavy duty workbench is essential to ensure projects are able to be created to the highest level of craftsmanship possible. After dyeing and finishing the floor in the shop, the task was set to design and build the newest workshop table. Heavy cast iron machine tool bases were selected to provide a solid base for the massive steel support structure and the wide wood top. The steel structure was designed and crafted using reclaimed material that we had been holding onto for just this moment. The steel was prepped and finished with a high quality gold enamel finish. To adorn the top of the structure would be a custom glued up 14 foot long wood top featuring strips of exotic accent wood on the center of the table. It was sanded to a high grit and finished with high quality gun-stock oil which will provide a high quality sheen for many years to come.
