Hi, found this online a while back, and just came upon it once more- thought I’d share it with everyone here.

THIS IS NOT MINE! but I think it’s a beautifully made bench, and an excellent blog that describes all the steps taken to build it + photos + story leading to it – a must read! especially if you’re planning on building your own bench.

Hi Purplev,

Great post. I would love to build one of these but would feel bad about the bench I already have.

I thought you guys might like it.

Karson my WW folder is so huge I had to delete other stuff to clear some space on my HD for it… eventually I’ll actually have to read it all… yikes!

Lee I cleared some space in the back of my shop – I’ll send someone over to pick up your current workbench whenever you’re ready ;) ... but seriously, I’d love to build my very own – and the one in the link is very appealing – really is classic

Thanks for the reference. The trouble with such great reading material is it becomes a choice between reading or sleeping… well maybe just one more article before I turn in :-)

That is a great link. A bench is on my list of things to do, that is going to help tremendously. Thanks for posting it.

Copied it to my folder also. I know what you mean about file overloads. I need to put some of mine on disc before my computer crashes again.

I down loaded and made a printed copy of this bench a few years ago. I can’t get started building something similar, because I keep coming up with changes I want to make. This one is a good place to start.
