How to build it
- Cut every member from Sheet C-02 board by board, then write its part ID on each piece in pencil so nothing gets mixed up.
- Laminate the legs: glue and screw the L-01 pieces together in pairs to make 8 solid posts (8 screws per post, staggered both faces).
- Build the top frame and 1 lower shelf frame: front and rear aprons (F-01) with the cross-joists (C-01) between them at ~400mm (16") centres.
- Bolt the legs to the frames with carriage bolts, top frame flush with the top of the legs (bench height 865 mm including the top).
- Stand the bench on a flat floor, check level both ways and the diagonals for square; shim or trim legs as needed.
- Fix the worktop (18-36mm ply/MDF, 1830 mm x 1220 mm) from below through the joists so no screw heads show on the work surface.
- Fit the lower shelf boards, ease all edges, and seal the top with 2 coats of oil or poly.
Tools: Mitre / circular saw, Drill-driver + impact driver, Spirit level (1200mm / 4ft), Tape measure, square, pencil, Clamps (at least 4), 10mm drill bit + socket set.
