Cape Cod Northern,
That was a very interesting description of the processes required to build the Mianne benchwork. I agree with Melgar on the master woodworking/cabinetmaking skills needed to build benchwork of this quality, consistency and ease of use for the end user. I used to do woodworking myself, for many years. I am no master woodworker, but I did manage to build a few fairly nice projects over the years so I know the time, tools, skills, set ups, jigs, etc. one needs to build a good product like this. That's why I ordered Mianne for my own layout. Really is a great product.
IMO, many people may not realize what all goes into making something like this and the time and skills needed to do very good, consistent quality work. Also the set ups needed for the consistency of this fine product, like holes always in the same location every time, everything the same sizes, lengths, etc. so when you order additional pieces for an addition it all fits perfectly with the stuff you got several years ago when you began your layout. That is also very impressive to me!
Thanks for posting this for us, I really enjoyed reading about it.
