This will probably be the last post on the MF-TC build, covering the last few bits that still needed to be done.
I rounded off the ends of the handle sides and cut a section of broom handle to length before screwing it in from both ends.
Handle in its lowered position.
The lengths of hardwood T section that I cut out were attached with screws from the inside of the extension tables.
Once the T pieces were attached, the extension tables could be attached to the main workbench and the stops for the extension table legs could be secured in place.
The completed workbench with both extension tables attached.
Front view, with the bottom drawer now having its front painted black and the stop/handle in place.
The tables below show a breakdown of the costs associated with each of the builds.
The costs for some items were spread across both builds, and for some items a larger quantity was purchased and only the number used is shown.
Some of the items I already had, but I show where I bought the original quantity from, any items that involved shipping include that in the price as well.

There were also other incidentals like paint, as well as screws, brad nails and such, I also did not include the costs of any hardwood as this was all taken from Oak I had reclaimed from items like my old front door, or my old kitchen cupboard doors.
