Welcome! / Forums / General Woodworking Discussions / Workbench build thread (finally!) / Reply To: Workbench build thread (finally!)
Hope I’m not too late to this thread. I have watched the Master Class and also the YouTube video and I also have the Woodworking book with the workbench chapter. In one of more of these Paul glues up pieces for his aprons without reinforcement (like dowels or splines). I was thinking of making my aprons from 3 pieces each (construction lumber) when I get to my own bench.
What I am curious about is how to size the height. Paul says his bench measures 38″ at the top, which works well for him, but can be adjusted for our own benches. However, he does not say how to choose the height that is best for you. If we knew his height we might be able to scale it that way (anyone have this data point?). Or would it be better to compare inseam and sleeve length? Paul?
