My implementation of the workbench project. As you can see I used hardwood ply instead of MDF for both the top and bottom shelf. Also to get a better feel of how to use it I applied a single coat of General Finishes Seal-A-Cell Clear to the entire bench then a second coat to the top and shelf. I really like the look of this finish but I'm not to sure I like the feel of it I really want more of a wood feel.

Comment by rdjack21 on May 23, 2010 at 9:05am: Yes it was done from the Kreg Workbench plan I just used hardwood ply instead of the MDF.

As far as the finish goes the only reason I finished it was so I could learn how to apply the General Finishes Seal-A-Cell Clear on something I did not mind if it didn't come out perfect. The bench will not look pretty for very long :) But then again I guess I will see how well this finish will hold up to a beating :)

I have some jigs and other little shop things I'm building next that I will be finishing as well again just to learn how to apply the finish and to see which one I like the best when it is all over. That way when I move to the furniture type projects I will not be experimenting with the finish.

Free Hand Guard (dust collection)

Hi. I'm wondering if anyone has used the Woodpecker Free Hand Guard for dust collection on their bench top router table during pattern routing. How effective is it? It's adaptable to any router table. Continue
