Over the weekend I finished the first of a pair of sawbenches from a FWW magazine article. I bought the construction lumber a couple weeks ago and cut/ripped everything to rough length and then let it all sit in my shop to acclimate before sizing or fitting anything. It was a good exercise in hand tool use and with the exception of ripping the boards for the legs and lower supports I did it entirely with hand tools. I've still got a long ways to go, but it was nice to have a few near perfect joints right off the saw. It's surprisingly stout and I can imagine a pair of them coming in quite handy.
