Something I don't see often

A clear workbench top...
I have two in the farm/mechanics shop that I have not seen the top of in a couple of decades.
This is in the basement woodshop. I built this old bench long long ago from what ever I had on hand. At one time years ago it sat on a dirt floor a while and I had to repair the bottom a little. I have threatened many times to build a new bench from scratch but it has kind of become an old friend. I do want to make a couple of improvements to it and "freshen it up" a bit (another name for paint ). I made the vise in the foreground using an old vise screw I found "someplace" and I have a quick action vise mounted on the far end. I still usually keep using the old vise I made.
That's a heavy folding work table leaning against the front of the bench waiting for me to find a new spot for it. That's 1" rough sawn pine stacked on a couple of saw horses behind the bench. It's waiting on me to build a new mobile lumber rack for it and several other stacks of different species.
