PTS Flowbench Build Pictures (unfinished)

My bench build is a working prototype and as such is not photographed in a finished condition, you can finish your bench in laminate, paint etc. I'm using my bench as an R&D setup so I can test various blower combinations, sensor locations etc. This will aid in assistance to other builders in not having to experiment if they want to make changes. I'm able to do that with my bench and offer them feedback.

The goal of this bench design was simple; function and simplicity all while maintaining accuracy and repeatability.

This bench was built in my shop using simple power hand tools; circular saw, cordless drill, saber saw, router and various other small tools. All materials can be purchased at a local lumber supply or home store some specialty parts are used but can be substituted as required.
