Hello Kirsty,
I’ve got an uncle that is a carpenter, and I did the same thing. I gave him the dimensions Paul has provided for the bench and for the trestles. I paid 235€ (with the family discount) and he gave me some beautiful chestnut timber cut to dimension and already planed. The solid piece for the benchtop looks awesome. So I guess I’m already cheating, because i didn’t plane everything by hand. Sorry, Paul.. 🙁
Anyway, I’ve built the trestles and I’ll start working on the bench today. I’m new to this too. I also had to buy all the tools – everything – so this bench is getting way expensive. It would have been much cheaper if I’ve used pine wood, but…it wouldn’t be the same.Good luck!
