Thank you for your valuable materials. We hope you will move forward to a chapter of sharing good information.
I’ve been a long time novice if wood working, now I have gotten serious about it. Started with a 6′ long picnic table for my brother in law in the spring and haven’t looked back. Thank you for these invaluable plans.
I would like a copy of the 2×6 bench plans Espectacular banco Peter Sengstschmid Is it possible to get the Plans in mm or cm Thanks Chris Blades My first attempt at woodworking/ John Penrose2×6 bench was easier to build than the 2×4 bench but both terrific projects. The 2×6 was great. There critical part was assembling ABC sides. The legs should be assembled on a flat surface lying down with the legs against a wall or perpendicular surface. In this way, when assembled the bench will be flush to the floor and be perfect. Speaking of perfect, treated lumber is not. It bends, bows and warps….but you have an opportunity to save your project in case your less important cuts were not accurate…where E touches C during assembly, you can fudge a little that no one will notice by cutting maybe an inch off the tip of C so E fits as in the diagram. The plans are flawless, me as a carpenter am not. The bench is theft proof so consider assembling the seat part and back where it will be used. Also use 12×8 x2 pavers to keep legs from ground contact. You have the option of a 2 or 3 board back rest.
