I was also going to mention checking out Chris Schwartz work on workbenches.

In the book The Anarchist Workbench he mentions making a bench out of solid slabs and the issues you might face. The book is available on his website as a PDF here. Mainly about getting a full slab that is solid enough throughout for the bench top. He specifically mentions soft spots and sponginess issues. But in his case it was a matter of how long the wood was left outside. Might not be much of a concern for you, depending on how dead the tree is I suppose.

In the article that is linked in the video that karpintero referenced he also mentions some of the difficulties of working full slabs with hand tools. Which is something to keep in mind. Definitely not going to be a one weekend project regardless of if it’s the full slab or not.

Might be worth seeing if there were a local shop that would square it up for you.

I think it really just comes down to how comfortable you are with taking on a large project like that.

Personally I was all excited to make a bench and then once I got to looking into it the more I realized if I started it I would probably never finish it so I never started it.

But it would be cool to see updates on what ever project you make. Good luck!

I think we can trust the president of Cuba!

But that’s how people know it’s a Honda!

They are going to “open source” it like they do the other extensions so it cannot be used on forked versions…it’s so OPEN!

Right who says baseball match, no one from the US. So either AI, foreign writer, or maybe an AI writer. In the 2 minutes I spent looking the author is from Ethiopia and “writes” one or more articles a day about Tesla. Not suspicious in any way.

According to a random Reddit comment it was down for maintenance, but that comment was made 20+ days ago. Odd there is no mention of it being down on the main page or anything especially because all of the links on the main page point to forum posts.

The phony pope can be identified by his high top sneakers and incredibly foul mouth.

They are actually fineliner pens.

I haven’t used this specific brand so can’t say how good these are. But there are plenty of brands that make similar products they are available in assorted colors and tip sizes.
