Local woodworking guru, Chris Schwarz, has been writing a series of blog articles on workbench personalities.   If you don't know Chris, he's the former executive editor of Popular Woodworking Magazine.   About 14 years ago he left to pursue his own passions.  Among them are researching traditional techniques, hand-tooling, tool chests, work benches, campaign furniture.   He continues to teach, research, publish, write, and produce furniture.   He's also been on The Woodwright's Shop.

so where does dumpster diving and cobbling together fit in...

Probably in one of the two upcoming blogs, that haven't been published yet...I suspect, that, both of those are the subject of the articles, and I wouldn't be surprised if one of the articles doesn't include a photo of you!:o

gather up a pile of leftovers, dumpster findings, kitchen salvage and what not...

put the bench together like a jigsaw puzzle...

spend little or nothing...

it works...

Sounds exactly like MY previous bench. It cost me nothing, which was just barely within my budget. And it served a purpose for about 44 years! But it's time for a change.
