(With ominous voice) IT HAS BEGUN. *Thunder in the distance*
I finally began building my workbench!
The first step is laminating three sheets of plywood for the top.
I'm using some drawer protector rubber to avoid denting (the first two sheets got dented, I need to make sure the third one doesn't).
Some strut channels, car screws and washers, and I can press the three sheets with no issue.

I finally decided to work on the torsion box.
Turns out that the edge that is at 90 degrees is not flat, and the flat edge is not at 90 degrees
On the process of planing, I crushed not one, but TWO fingers because the table I'm using for planing keeps tilting with each push. One of these days it's going to break down (sigh).
I better do some emergency repairs by adding a couple of planks as additional support.

Oh yeah. Forgot to mention... I got a splinter on my eye
Fortunately it got out on its own and I didn't require any surgery.Alas, I have an eye infection now and I'm taking antibiotics.

OTOH, I think I know how to solve the rectification conundrum.
I'll use the flat edge as reference and put it against the fence in my table saw. With that I'll cut the other edge at 90 degrees AND get it flat. Then I'll turn the board around and I'll have both edges at 90 degrees and flat!

Update: Here's the photo of the assembled top; vises still not installed.
