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.


These 20 page, step-by-step plans take you through the entire build from start to finish, with detailed renderings of the whole process.


*Imperial plans only (no metric, sorry).

**These are only available as a .pdf. In other words, they are NOT printed and mailed as a physical product.

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.

Work Bench

Well thought out instructions. I haven’t had time to build the bench yet but I have no doubts that the instructions will be a great resource when I do. Thanks Scott

very good DIY starter

my first was a 2x4 based on a 1980s Garden Way knockdown with drilled/tapped steel pins for but jointery. drill press/Shopsmith MkV/corded router. i made a jig made for my router to finish level the top; except my router was an early version of Craftsman that, when clamped it in place (depth), tilted the bit just enough to evidence ridges which; which necessitated hand planing it. a second table has a full sized 3/16 plate for beating stuff upon with impunity. you've some good ideas; thanx.

Correction, I had misread

Review is below, I had made the slats 4" because the image of the end pieces were 4", and I had misread the line that said it was only the end pieces. Ah well. I'd edit the review if I knew how.
