Hello guys! Medyo matagal ako hindi nakapag post dito. Well anyway, I'd like to share my workbench made from reclaimed wood from a recent renovation project I did for my mother-in-law's house. Sorry hindi masyado detailed yung post ko. Sorry guys hindi siya kagandahan.
A view from the side where I attached my vise.

Here is the base already assembled. With the help of my Kregg Pockethole Jig, I used gypsum board screws to assemble the parts.

Re: Workbench from reclaimed wood
The top is made of 3/4" plywood. Naka screw lang siya pati yung edges so that I can easily replace it when it's worn out. The top will be subjected to a lot of abuse.
The edge of my workbench is made up of 2 x 2 on three sides to accomodate my vice. I forgot what it's called but it can be placed anywhere on my table.
It's sturdy. My son & I stood on top of this table. Nakaya naman kami.
Well guys, I hope you like my simple workbench. I will post other pictures of my workbench in action.
Re: Workbench from reclaimed wood
Thanks Sir Rosy. Actually last month ko pa ito nagawa. Wala lang me time magpost and nahirapan ako mag upload ng mga pictures ko.
Re: Workbench from reclaimed wood
Is that Yakal? If so, that'll be pretty heavy and sturdy.

Sorry I don't know what kind of wood it is. It used to be the rafter of my mother-in-law's terrace. Dark ang shade nung ibang kahoy after I cut and planed it. Heto yung mga pinagputulan ko. It was too twisted and others have started to rot.
As for the Skil router ok naman gamitin. It illuminates what I'm routing and well within my budget.

@balarila & rosy
Vice Master siya from JML. I purchased it a couple of years ago sa Ace Hardware sa SM Marilao. I think it was on sale for P1,500. Nice tool para kang may extra pair of hands. Although not as sturdy as a wood vice.
It has a quick release mechanism and it has several configuration
Re: Workbench from reclaimed wood
Heto pa other pics niya
The size of the material that I can clamp is only limited to the length of my table.
I use it when I'm planning (power or hand).
Kahit nakatayo pwede.
Re: Workbench from reclaimed wood
Nice versatile vise! Btw, how's the performance of the Ozito thicknesser/planer combo?
Re: Workbench from reclaimed wood

Yes bro willy, looking at the pics posted, its a very versatile looking vise, perfect for DIY use.
I like it bro, sana maka tiempo rin ako nyan sa mga SM ACE Hardwares, pang ipom ba ng mga tools for woodworking sa future., LOL CONGRATS WILLY, very nice tool !!!!

@ will1467, @balarila,
The wood in the pics posted looks familiar to me, I think it is GUIJO, but correct mE if I'm wrong kasi the wood grain ( haspe ) that I see is very similar to the window jambs that I dismantled years ago because malikot ang kahoy na yan. Yes the wood is very tough and very nice to finish but it does twists a lot and is also prone to warping or bow.
I guess this kind of wood needs to be totally dried and seasoned before using for furnitures.
The wooden jamb that I dismantled years ago has just been transformed into a large wooden saw horse or work bench. HEHEHEHE, LOL LOLCIGWELD Weldskill 250 amp Mig Welder
