I began my woodworking career last summer so I’m still a total novice. Plans were great and the detail video is super helpful too. It was a 2-day build for me: day 1 cut everything and glue to big stuff, day 2 assemble everything. Simple enough for my skill level that my mistakes didn’t end up ruining the table. It pairs extremely well with my table saw folding table. Now I have a great setup for half the garage and everything stores away well in the corner so we can still fit both cars when these are stored away. Thanks Thomas!
Built the "midweight" bench out of used 2x12 I had salvaged. The bench really is rock solid. Thank you Thomas.
These plans are awesome and the design is exactly what I was looking for!
perfect size easy to follow plans
