The Minimum Timber Bench // Start woodworking for less!
Rex Krueger
Published 21 Dec 2022The 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. Get your plans here: https://www.rexkrueger.com/store/mini…
The Minimum Timber Bench Course is eight 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!
