Log Work Bench Plan
This log workbench is great for an outdoor work space and can easily be built over the weekend.
You will need logs that have been peeled and are roughly:
* 2 @ 68" x 3"ø - Upper Rails
* 2 @ 63" x 3"ø - Lower Rails
* 4@ 32" x 4-1/2"ø - Legs
* 4@ 32" x 3"ø - Stretchers
* optional: 2 sheets 3/4" plywood
Start by making a 2-1/4" long x 1-1/2"ø tenon on one end of each leg. Make the same size tenon on both ends of the stretcher pieces and the lower rails.
Using an 1-1/2" forsner bit, drill the holes in the upper rails, 2-1/2" from the ends. Both holes must be in line with each other. Drill the holes 1-1/2" deep.
Measure and mark the legs 8-1/2" from the bottom for the lower rails and the stretchers. These holes are
at 90° to each other. Drill another set of holes 8-1/2" from the top for the upper set of stretchers.
Dry fit everything together to make sure it all fits. Disassemble pieces and start to glue the workbench together using clamps to ensure a tight joint.
After glue has set up use a block plane to flatten the top edge of the upper rails to accept the top.
