The craftsman archetype is a classic idea of manliness. Today's post takes the craftsman ethos and tells how to put those values into our life ever day.

I've mentioned before the benefit of working for a school district, especially one that has a resource centre. I borrow from the centre often. It saves money - I don't have to buy it. I send it back on it's due date which means I don't have to store it. This month I borrowed the workbench. The children have showed interest in hammering, every time I put out golf tees and hammers it is a busy place. I've been waiting for this kit for half the year. On one hand it was frustrating waiting but on the other it's exciting to know that it is being so well used by other teachers. The children were excited to see it and started right to work. Only one rule: you must wear safety goggles. Some children were more interested in playing with the toys. This gave us opportunities to talk about real tools and toys. What each can and cannot do. Where our creativity and imagination can lead us. Hands on, real life math happening. We added pencils and paper to the work bench. For a few parents it took a lot of courage (on their part) to let their child use real tools. Most were quite happy to lend a hand when needed. Trial and error. What works and what doesn't let's a child figure out how to achieve what they want. Sharing work space safely. The workbench will remain for a couple more weeks.

This PDF contains step-by-step build instructions, including detailed plans and a cut list, for making this rolling workbench with a cutout for a table saw. You'll also have access to a detailed SketchUp model of the entire project as well as my contact information for any questions during the build process. There are plans in both Imperial (feet and inches) and metric (meters and millimeters). This workbench is built with 2x4s and plywood and can be constructed with a drill and jigsaw (or handsaw). If you purchase these plans and find that they won't work for you, message me and I'll give you a refund. -- Frequently Asked Questions -- Q: How big is the finished workbench? A: The body of the workbench (without casters) is 96" long, 40" wide, and 32" tall. The top can be between 40" and 48" wide, depending on how much overhang you prefer. For the metric plans, the body of the workbench is 2400mm long, 1000mm wide, and 800mm tall. The top can be between 1000mm and 1200mm wide. Q: How much does it cost to build? A: Material prices vary based on location and market conditions, but at my local Home Depot (west coast United States), 2x4s are about $0.39/foot, and for this workbench, you need a total of 126 feet, or about $50 in 2x4s. For the top surface and bottom shelves, you can use MDF, plywood, or melamine, and you'll need two sheets. Prices range between $40-70/sheet, or about $110 in total, so the total lumber cost would be about $160, plus the cost of screws and casters. Q: What table saws can fit in this workbench? A: The design accommodates any saw up to 30” wide and up to 21” deep (front to back); the metric design accommodates any saw up to 730mm wide and up to 520mm deep.

Things went quite smoothly. I glued the bottom two inches of the sideboards and installed screws from the back in elongated holes on the tops. The bottoms of the sideboards will be pegged to the legs. After the glued dried, I spent time making sure the tops of the sideboards are as co-planar as I can possibly make them. The decision to leave them proud of the legs was a good one for this purpose. Standing back to look at it, I have two reactions. I like it a lot, and eight feet is long for a bench. I can't even imagine a bench twelve feet long. Next step is to start installing transverse bearers.
