Satisfied Builder

I just finished building my first workbench, and I used the plans in your article How to Build a Workbench in the February/March 2013 issue. Your instructions were simple enough that even a novice builder like me was able to understand them.

I’m looking forward to many years of projects on my new bench — I think this bench will outlast me!
