Project Information

Haven't posted anything for quite a long time, but other things often impose on my hobby-time. My daughter and grandson(s) are visiting soon and I was asked to make a workbench for the eldest of the 2. (Incidentally, he's the one pictured in a highchair I built in one of my earliest posts) - how the time does fly!... but I digress…
This is a simple bench made of douglas fir. The span between the legs is a M&T joint and the stretcher has a sliding dovetail on each end. It's 20" in height; for a (currently) appropriate working height for the intended "client". I placed a tape measure on the bench to help provide scale. I'll be tacking a pegboard tool rack to it to hang his tools on once he arrives. Thanks for looking.

Great bench! I like those through-tenons. Should work out very well for your grandson.

Nice Job on it. Look forward to seeing what kind of project the two of you can accomplish on it.

A great and worthwhile endeavor! Hope you show him how to build things for himself. That would be a memory he will always have to treasure. Great work.

Great looking bench. I might be stealing this idea for my little guy.
