Finally getting my workspace in my condo all together. Just need to add the threaded rod to the bench and get it all tightened up, and still looking for s-clips to secure the bench top and shelf. Unfortunately the spacing of wooden pegs and the threaded rod are off by about 1/16" on the long stringers. So I am going to have to open up the bottom groove on the long stringers to make the holes in the legs line up.

Anyone know where I can get s-clips? I have tried Co-op Hardware, Rona and Home Depot. I might have to use some L braces if I can't find any.

Bench completed. No screws or nails (except the screws I need to add to secure the work-surface). All the wood is under compression and all the metal is under tension, rock solid. Although I am thinking of adding a layer of OBD or MDF to the work surface to give it a bit more rigidity. The 1/2" ply has a little flex but shouldn't be an issue for most electronics work, which is it's main purpose.

Thanks to sax for the help re ripping the stringers and chopping the rod.

Looking sharp!

Wooops, that was me playing around with permissions in picasa.
