i think god left the building when he heard "i want a fancy moravian workbench" 😂 as signified by you putting your fingers right into that pinch point 10mins later while checking the bottom of the vise😮 karma bench 😂
Thanks! Pros: I would say it's easier to build. Tenons and mortises are automatically the right thickness due to the equal number of layers. Second, stability of the material. Very little movement over the seasons is an advantage. Cons: Plywood is not that hard of a material, so cuts, gouges, dents are more likely to appear. Delamination of my cheap plywood is also a concern, especially on edges and corners. That all said, I think the weight and abuse this bench will take will outlast my lifetime, if not into some other person after me.
Brilliant! thanks for sharing the build process.
In our family it’s not a dad project until blood has been shed.

Cool build. What are the pros and cons on a laminated bench like this vs a traditional one?
