👍👍
I like how your bench-top drill press extends out far enough to drill into long pieces.
Glad you're getting closer to your bench completion.

Had to build that riser to get the press tall enough to drill these parts. Got them drilled today. Now I have to dismantle the riser. Trying to get it done by Springtime.

Yes, and the neck reaching out farther than the base plate.

That is handy sometimes. That was a rescue. Required a little repair.

Almost a base. The Rube Goldberg set up worked to get the holes drilled true and in place. One more stretcher to cut to length and cut 2 tenons. That one does not get bolted on. Then it's time to pull out the rough cut boards for the top and begin to joint and plane to prepare to glue together. Not decided of I am going to use biscuits for glueing.
