    Default G’day from Perth

    Hi,
    I am an inexperienced woodworker, did some at school and with my grandad. I want to make a small workbench and a couple of basic garden benches to start with. Looking forward to getting into the info available here.

    Cheers

    Welcome to the forum.

    I would start with making one garden bench as this will be exposed to the weather it can be a little rough. Then you can build the workbench and the garden bench will be of use as your experience has already increased.

    Take a look at this sub-forum https://www.woodworkforums.com/f213 of the site it might give you an idea of what you might want to build. One thing to keep in mind when building a work bench is that this becomes personal BUT don't forget that this after all is a tool to be used in making something.
