This is a perfect first workbench for the beginner woodworker. Made from easy-to-find construction lumber, this bench is not going to break the bank, coming in at under $200 for all the materials.

About the Plans

This workbench uses easy half-lap joinery, is super sturdy with a 3-inch thick laminated top, and is very rigid because it uses diagonal braces. All of this is easily achievable for the beginner woodworker who wants a weekend project.

The top is 30” x 72”, but the dimensions can easily be modified to whatever size suits your needs.

The plans are a .pdf file format. After purchasing, an email will be sent (separate from the order confirmation email), with a link to access the plans. You have five attempts to access and download the plans to the local storage on your device. If you don't see the email after an hour, first check your spam folder, then fill out the form on the Contact page for customer assistance.

almost getting started

I love the Scott's design and his video, cut list, and sense of humor. I have started on the workbench but am making it out of 2x4s as I can get them for free. I do appreciate his warning to check the end grain and be careful not to take one cut from the center of the tree. i will follow this with pictures of the bench later. By the way, it will be 12 feet by 23 inches. It will go under my wall cabinets than i will be building a 3 foot by 8 foot actual work bench for my bench tools -- using his plans.

Good, but wished it came with a step by step detailed video.

Maybe im missing something and didn’t see it but wish it came with a step by step detailed video… the YouTube video is great but doesn’t go step by step (detailed) and the plans seem a little vague to me. I’m a visual learner and it would be nice to get a detailed step by step video link with sectioned off time stamps to make it easy to navigate.

As a beginner woodworker, I found that the instructions are detailed and easy to follow. I am about half way through the project and it is coming along as planned so far. It helps to refer back to the video from time to time to avoid mistakes.
