The Minimum Timber Bench plans are 34 pages of full-color, step-by-step instructions in standard and metric measurements. The plans include a full stock list and cut list. Every image is modeled in 3D and each step includes tips and tricks to make your build easier. This bench is designed for beginning woodworkers and power-tool woodworkers who want to get into hand tools. You can build it completely by hand or with a few common machine tools.

The Minimum Timber Bench Course is 8 chapters of detailed build instructions. Follow along as I do each step of the build using basic machine tools (and a few hand tools). I’ll take you from stock selection all the way through to flattening and using the bench. The course is 80 minutes long, fully searchable, and includes the complete plans for FREE!.

My English Joiner’s Bench is sturdy, strong and incredibly easy to build. This design is based on jobsite benches built by 19th Century carpenters and housewrights. It’s made to go up fast using common construction lumber and it handles EVERY common woodworking operation. Even if you’re brand new to woodwork, you can build this bench.
The complete Joiner’s Bench Bundle includes detailed, step-by-step plans for building the bench along with a complete stock-list and cut-list.
