  • Small workbench

Don't let its size fool you. This sturdy workbench features two home-made vices that provide more clamping options than many benches twice its size. And the vice mechanisms can be purchased from Australian Woodsmith.

  • Shaker lamp table

With its Shaker-style lines, this lamp table will fit in well in a variety of settings. And it's easy to build.

  • Garden seat

It's a traditional garden bench - without the back or arms. Build it in a weekend, and the result will be a comfortable resting spot in the backyard for years to come.

  • Drop-down tool table

You can take advantage of the space under your bench with this handy tool tray.

  • Magazine rack

This magazine rack doesn't take much time to build - we used ordinary mortise and tenon joints to hold it together.
