This week we’ll talk about how to trick out a workbench! No we’re not adding racing stripes or spinning wheel covers. Instead, Carol Beronich will discuss the benefits of adding storage units in the open space below the bench top.

This is a 14” X 11” X 5 1/2” box made out of Purpleheart, Cherry, Pink Marimba, and Maple. Finished with B.L.O. I hand cut the triple dovetails really just to see if I could do it. I have not come up with a good use for this box, so I am open for suggestions. I did take a lot of pics thinking that I would post a blog but decided that it is not much different than a double dovetail and there is already a great blog on how to do that and it would just be repetitive. I have not posted anything in about a month just for that reason, it doesn’t seem right to show things like the drink coasters that look just like someone elses. With that being said I did post this hoping for real feedback, not just a “good job” but what you really think….. I promise you can’t hurt my feelings. If it is too many types of wood and hate it, go ahead let me have it. Thanks……
Here are some better pics as requested

I posted this project before, early in the construction process. It was an interesting and extremely challenging piece the whole way through on a lot of different levels…. My son Will did most of the construction work except for the inlay, which was done my my man Trevor on our cnc router .. He’s getting pretty good with it. Complete story is on my blog at

including an interesting comment at the bottom from a reader named ‘Lurch’ who knew someone who knew someone …etc, etc, but it showed a really interesting view into the power of the internet to connect people..
