I had leftover Hem-Fir so I decided to give Christopher Schwarz’s saw benches a try. Once again I found that I dislike following written instructions. He’s since changed how he builds these benches 3 or 4 times, so the lesson here is that there’s no right answer. Knowing that now, I would’ve built these benches differently, but it’s okay. They work and that’s what they need to do.
The other stuff is just small little projects: bench hooks, shooting board, dovetail markers, and a mallet. You never know when your going to need to hit something and feel like Thor doing it. :)

Nice job on all of them. They are all very useful in the shop!! I don’t like to work from someone else’s plans either. You make them they way they work for you and you’ll always be happy with them….......Jim
