Build-Your-Own Cedar Bench

Learn to make this simple but elegant bench with just a couple of basic tools in two four-hour classes. The class will include instruction on reading a plan; measuring and milling the bench pieces from stock lumber using a chop saw and a sliding compound mitre saw; and proper use of drills and drivers. No prior woodworking experience is necessary. This cedar bench is suitable for indoor or outdoor use, and would look great on a deck, around a campfire, or in a garden.

The only tools students need to bring along are a tape measure and a combination square with a 12” blade.
