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.

* Saturday the 31st (1/31/26) - The agenda would be to try to take the process we proved out last workday (1/10/26) to mill down the larger 2x6s and do a batch of them. i would aim for 6 boards and then maybe to a test glue up (with out glue) to see if the clamps we have will work with the boards we produce if we have time. | *<del> Saturday the 31st (1/31/26) - The agenda would be to try to take the process we proved out last workday (1/10/26) to mill down the larger 2x6s and do a batch of them. i would aim for 6 boards and then maybe to a test glue up (with out glue) to see if the clamps we have will work with the boards we produce if we have time.</del> Cancelled due to weather.
