in the end you always need adjust the building plans to your exact sizes.
I also made some mistakes so my workbench became a little smaller and works perfectly.
Also i first just ordered the wood for the laminated top and legs and built it in parts.
but following the exact dimensions given by paul is always difficult, also depends on your planing skills (you will take more of if you are less accurate…)

But a little concerned to spot difference between solid oak and just compressed wood fibers with veneer on top of it…
Tips how to spot this?

4 led panels 40 watt cold white. Gives me always the same light. Day or night.
This picture is taken right now 22:05 and I can work if it’s full day light.
Also saves lots of power. Before had 6x 80 watt TL light and was useless.Attachments:

– small chisels dont need much pressure. Small even pressure
– correct it with a honing guide with pressure on the correct side
24 October 2017 at 9:07 pm #340087Making stuff is kinda hard but you learn a lot.
Workmate is also kinda needed without your first workbench.
To built the workbench you also need some clamp/router plane etc etc.You just can’t start with just 2 tools and increase by each project you make. You need about 10 basic tools (saw hammer chisel plane square knife clamps workmate sharpeningstones) to get you started. And my guess is that will still cost you between 250-500$.
So in my opinion you can’t start on a 100 dollar budget …24 October 2017 at 8:17 pm #340055My guess would be:
– sharpening stones
– nr 4 plane
– Aldi chisels
– saw
– hammerAnd do spend some hours on
– four square making wood. Sawing/planing
– free hand forming wood with chisel and hammer (spoons spatula etc)Took me 1,5 years to built the bench and technique I need most is just making wood four square:
– planing / sawing / shooting board12 October 2017 at 3:25 pm #333282And we are shooting!!!
1. Practice on small pine wood
2. Sharp blade
3. Don’t let sole loose contact with working piece
4. Very tiny bits at a time.Tonight more practice. I assume some waste oak wood will be of a completely other level!!
Thanks for all tips!Attachments:

And nr 2 is to not slide to much back, keep contact with sole.3 probably will be to just have a much sharper blade!
How much angle can you correct with shooting board?
12 October 2017 at 2:38 pm #333259The sole is flat. But the “wall” the plane is running on is not square.
This is because the first 5-6mm the sole of the plane has no blade!
On some tutorials i saw that they put a small recess in this wall, so the sole is always square without adjusting it by hand.See picture 2 for what I mean.
Is it handy to have this square?Now going to sharpen / square the blade!
