Special gratitude and appreciation to Cody VanVactor, Mr. VanVactor to his shop students.
When he said he would help me with the plans, I don't think he understood what a huge undertaking he had volunteered for. Cody, Thank You so much. I cannot imagine a more complete, more detailed, and more beautfiul rendering of Ken's bench. You're the best.

The sander light is SO helpful! 'THANK YOU' Josh Hayes for sending it to us!

Another 'THANK YOU' to @sawstop for the beautiful table saw they sent me. It exceeds all of my expectations and made this project achievable for me.
