Just sharing a link to the webpage that offers a free ebook. I thought it was important for people to know the origin of this book instead of simply linking to the download itself. This book will walk you through the steps of creating your own workbench that is primarily focused on woodworking. Hope it inspires someone to give it a try. Enjoy!
"“The Anarchist’s Workbench” is – on the one hand – a detailed plan for a simple workbench that can be built using construction lumber and basic woodworking tools. But it’s also the story of Christopher Schwarz’s 20-year journey researching, building and refining historical workbenches until there was nothing left to improve."
A Schwarz toolchest has become a pretty common project for long-weekend woodworking "sleepaway camps" for people who want to get into hand-tool woodworking. The bench is super nice too, but a much more involved project.
