And I have been quite happy working away on the sawhorses, and though I was thinking about a workbench a few months back, I think I am managing okay with the current arrangement.<br /><br />Gderamel, <br /><br />the pegs *are* much easier to remove than the shachi-sen, as pegs can be readily driven out in either direction to undo the connection whereas the shachi sen would have to be drilled out and extracted to effect removal. Therefore the pegs are more convenient and are even reusable, unlike the shachi-sen. <br /><br />If the connection were in a more visible location though, I think I would be inclined to go with the shachi-sen as they have a discrete appearance.<br /><br />~ChrisAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328401081765407624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-465253841554983182011-01-20T18:59:17.745-05:002011-01-20T18:59:17.745-05:00I love the beaded profile detail; it jives perfect...I love the beaded profile detail; it jives perfectly with the grain of this bubinga.<br /><br />Are the pegs you're using (to lock the battens together) that much easier to remove than the shachi sen?<br />Guillaumegderamelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02566194540320085614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-55410205330080704822011-01-20T14:36:45.864-05:002011-01-20T14:36:45.864-05:00That is some crazy wood grain!
