I have been doing woodwork projects using some basic tools drill, circular saw, jacksaw, etc. Now I want to build a custom workbench with a bench saw, drillpress, table router, and some other tools. The bench also needs to be small, since I have limited space to work. I think I found what I want to build on the One Minute Workbench YouTube channel.
So I ordered the project instructions from his website. This is the first time I try one of his projects. I really liked the instructions, very detailed. Let’s see if I can build it!

Getting started
Today I started with the initial cuts and marking the wood. Rechecked all the measurements and marks. Then I was able to finish two pices. Was very careful on cutting as straight and precise as possible. Took me about 4 hours.
