Woodsmith Hobby Bench Standard Plan & Premium Shop Drawings
This bench design is inspired by a watchmaker’s bench. These benches have a cutout in the front edge of the top to create a wrap-around worksurface that lets you keep items close at hand. The benchtop has a lot of room to spread out and work, and the base is built stout to stand up to all kinds of use. Another feature of these types of benches is the ample storage space. Whether your hobby is carving, fly tying, or model-making, the ability to organize your tools and supplies is important for making the most of your time. The 13 box jointed drawers should hold everything you need and more. Plus, you have the option of adding racks to the ends of the bench and a tool rack along the back. Overall, it has a just-right feel to it.
You can purchase the Woodsmith Hobby Bench 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.
