Re: Fine Woodworking comes to Twitter

Hi Matt,

I have been following all the info on workbenches on FWW for over a year now as I plan to build a workbench for my self. Well, your bench won me over and I am going to start building a slightly shorter version of your bench next week. My bench will only be 5 1/2 feet long as my small workshop space requires it.

I purchased a download of you plan for the bench to get the details, but you do not discuss the fastening of the top to the base. I am sure expansion and contraction of the top seasonally will be an issue. How did you secure the top on your bench?
