So we finally got the window stained (still no window treatments or anything yet...one thing at a time folks!) and can get my new bench into place. Here it is!

It's almost 6-feet of solid maple with huge drawers. I can stand or sit on a stool to work. After going outside to make a necklace that required hammering, I definitely see the advantage to standing for some things. I'm a bit intimidated by it and will have to actually work at it for a bit to see where best to stow what. My Bisley cabinet remains though - I love that thing. Good for packaging supplies, pens, scissors, wire, calculator etc.
Primo worksurface!

Anyway...no excuse for idleness now!
