A small workshop needs a bench that can perform multiple duties. I designed this stout workbench to also serve as an outfeed table for your table saw, and as an assembly table with a large, flat surface. 


These 50-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).

Details

About the Plans

This workbench uses traditional frame and panel carcass construction with the ability to build with modern joinery methods like dowels or dominos which makes for a strong yet straightforward build.

The top is 30” x 69”, but can be made as small as 26” x 65” (with no overhangs) or as large as reasonable. It is 34” tall as per the plans, but can also be raised if you’re taller.

This is not a beginner project, but if you’ve built a table before, this would be a great project to push your woodworking skills to the next level.

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.

The plans are very clear and detailed. Can’t wait to get started on this one, but will warm up my technique before then. Definitely don’t want to “hack” my way through this. This bench commands respect.
