The sketchup plans for the bench originally came to me from Jeff, and I modified the dimensions to make the final bench 8’ long x 28” deep x 34” tall (although I rough cut the leg pieces a bit longer, since I’m debating whether to bring up the height an inch or so).
Finally getting started on this thing. All I have to show for it so far is a stack of rough cut SPF (can’t find Douglas Fir around here):
The back table top will be made from glued up cherry shorts which I got for cheap. That’s what I hope to be cutting this weekend:

Thanks for posting the sketchup drawing. I can’t believe I missed it in my hours of mining for plans of such a popular bench design.
