I'm a dumbass and sawed into my workbench.
ETA: Threw a maple spline into it to commemorate the occasion.
Oh that's barely a scratch. I thought you had cut the power cord maybe :)

Now scribe some inch markings either side of it and add a built in ruler to your bench. #featurenotflaw
Damn that’s some good, positive thinking. My applause to you!
I threw a maple spline into it but I might still do as you suggest lol
It's not a workbench if it doesn't have battle scars. Some of the fights you won, some of the stupidity you fought.
Better than the fingers 🫠
Based on the title, I assumed fingers. I have been to the ER with enough shop co-workers to have that be my first thought.
Second guess was "sawed through the power cord"
Now you have two workbenches
Not quite that bad lol
Another reason I'm not ashamed that I built mine out of 2x4s. If I manage to completely destroy it, I'll just buy more crappy spruce, glue up a new slab, and keep going.
This but a Scratch
That's just patina. We usually charge more for that.
Welcome to the club.
'tis the Workbench of Moria, in which the carpenters sawed too greedily and too deep.
As nature intended.
right of passage. chicks dig scars. pain is temporary. glory is forever.
Super agree with the other user saying to make it a built in ruler.
I got one of those Kreg ACS things gifted to me and I immediately plunged the saw THROUGH the table, shitty depth stop gave out when I leaned on it, I was bummed lmao
I'm reading this while on break from setting up a simple shelf build. Thanks for the reminder to double check everything before I start cutting x.x
