Incredible bench. It'll last 1000 years! To the question of weight. I have been using a 3x3 foot top 38 inch high bench made with 4x4s for legs and 3 inch thick laminated top from standard 2x4s and it weighs about 180lbs without anything on the shelf. Small but still substantial for hand toll work. Time for a bigger bench though.
funny, we are of the same age (but you seem to be on the trade for longer than i am - 2 years) i have made the exact same bench. Mine is rather rough compared rto yours, but it really look the same. I know roubo is quite a reference, but the similarities are funny!
I ask because I'm planning a bench build of a similar size with 3.5" white pine boards for the top and wondered how substantial it'll be. Great job on yours! I only hope mine turns out half as good!@@brochobo

Excellent execution and I love your use of hand tools. What is the weight of your bench?
I honestly don't know. The redwood is very light, but it's heavy enough, since the bench is so big. And I'll add heavy tools to the shelf.

@@patrickwilson623thanks! I wouldn't worry about the weight at this size.
How is it holding up?
So far getting beat up and holding up fine.
