Thank you all for your kind comments, I was pleased how it all went, one part could have been better, the weather it was very cold in the workshop in February in the UK. The most difficult part was fixing the back on. I had got enough of the reclaimed hardboard for one back...

Thank you Mark, nothing like having the right setup and I have nothing like the right setup for woodworking. This is the engineering bench I used and covered it with a work top offcut. I don't have a drill press so to keep the drill bit perpendicular I made this in a lath and also use the V...
