We are building a strong, stable bench to replace the "door bench" currently being used in the work shop. While we are going to be using designs for "woodworking" bench, our bench will be usable for all project types. We are going to use the designs and concepts defined in the [https://blog.lostartpress.com/2020/07/06/now-available-for-free-the-anarchists-workbench/ Anarchist Workbench]. This bench will be built from construction lumber (2xX), which we will mill to more exact dimensions), to form a large, think, glue-up table top and mortise and tenon joinery for the legs and stringers. Instead of glued or dry fitted joins we will use drawboring to secure our joints. This page will be used to track our plans and progress and manage communication as the project evolves. | We are building a strong, stable bench to replace the "door bench" currently being used in the work shop.
