If you want to call it a cross lap joint, then that's what it is.

Extreme Cross Lap Joint  or Ultimate Cross Lap joint.  Needs that flare to catch the eye, all about the marketing.

I love this contraption.  Are you going to use a toe stop or overhang the table enough to not worry about a toe stop?  

Same question here..kicking the cabinet as I work. I do love drawers for dust but hate how they hide those forgotten or buried tools.

Ordering new tape for the label maker.

Between evenings and weekends at the theater set build, I got the RSF end guides on, hand-holds cut and top laminated this week -- two 3/4" BCX plywood, good side out, 1/2 gal of Titebond.    Yes, you can never have too many clamps.  Next is to attach it and put on the Emmert vice.   I think I'm going to need help with that, holding up a 75 lb vice while screwing in some #14 screws is not a one-man job.

 

You can never have too many clamps.  Truth.

There is not a time when I use them all at once, but many times, I have to stop and wait for glue to dry because I've used all of a certain size or type.

 

I don't think i can run out of clamps. Just the ones i prefer...But I always have enough

 

There is a difference between cabinetry clamps and furniture making clamps...

Myself I can always use extra, anybody have some they don't want the door is always open.

How much hangover did you give yourself for the top?

about 1.75 inches.  Enough for a clamp

That's  about the minimum. I found 3-5 inches gaver me more support and kept the work rolling off the table....

sorry if this is a repeat, but I'm not sure I ever posted the "after" photos of he bench.

 

Excellent!!!!

Came out quite nice!

Great job on the table, but my favorite part is the vice.

Yeah, it's been sitting on the floor for 20 years waiting for a spot.   I got it for $125 and I found they're now going for $800-1200.   Should have bought 1000 of them.  It was a bear to install as it weighs 85 or so pounds.   I read some advise to take it apart and secure the bench side.    When I did that, I had a hard time getting the front half to attach.  It turned out that the back part of the square insert was not aligning with the back ring on the vise.   But it happened on the first half turn of engaging the screw.   If it had been just a bit longer, it would have been more obvious.

Nice!  All those drawers.  You'll never run out of space.

Yea you just wait and see......I thought drawers were answers but found them to be a problem..one may only use a few tools but he's only happy when  he has too many...

Nah, they are like clamps, can't have enough.  But I will say I have started putting tape on them with what is inside.  Memory is great but recall is touchy.

The taller the drawer the more I lose. I think if you keep them thin and to the point you can keep them in order but too deep and your on a treasure hunt...

Love having all those drawers. One question is that there is a opening at the top of each drawer. Would not having an additional strip to fill that space reduce dust getting into drawers?

Great job Keith.
