Woodsmith Heirloom Workbench Standard Plan & Premium Shop Drawings
In spite of its decorative appeal and small size, this bench is meant to be used hard. It’s similar to the benches you’d find in trade schools over 100 years ago. This version sticks to the classic design but takes advantage of modern materials like plywood and full-extension drawer slides. In spite of the modern touches, the traditional through-tenon joinery guarantees the bench can withstand heavy use. And the solid-wood top adds the mass and strength to stand up to any woodworking task. And it can be built using ¾"-thick material. These elements combine to provide a rock-solid bench that’s sure to last for generations.
You can purchase the Woodsmith Heirloom Workbench standard plan or the supplemental premium shop drawings as a downloadable PDF or in a printed format that we ship to you. We highly recommend purchasing both the standard plan and the supplemental premium shop drawings for more in-depth instructions and greater detail.
This compact bench will fit in any shop, but that doesn’t mean it’s light on features.
Step-by-step instructions, exploded views, materials list, and more—these plans have everything you need to build your own Heirloom Workbench.
