    That looks really good - and it's given me some more ideas for my next one. Really like the progression of pics on the jointing of the top; I'd been thinking in terms of 2" thick chunks, rather than setting them on edge like that.

    Remember - despite it being a lovely piece of goods - it is still a tool, and tools do need modifying from time to time

    Looking again... I take it that's mortice & tenon on the legs? Any chance of a pic of how the top is attached?
    And what timber is the top? And... And...

    The legs are mortised into the top and held by gravity plus 6 3.5inch screws into the top through the top leg stretcher. The top is Iroko and the legs are Redwood Pine pinned mortise and tenon. The pins are white oak.

    I wouldn't recommend jointing 2" squares, the preferred method is to joint the faces and have the edge grain as your worksurface. There are some great books out there on Workbench design for Woodwork which would and do translate directly into Jewellery bench making as all the same needs are there for a sturdy hard wearing top.
