Nice workbench
Looks great, I like the look of the dark top, but it might make it harder to see small objects.

Wow. Thank you for those
Wow. Thank you for those unbelievably kind words. I am not an architect though. My main profession was a service manager and now I'm unemployed and partially disabled. I just love to be creative and use my hands. I also love photography. I did all my work on nights and weekends. Again, thank you for the kind words.
