Chuppa,

There are zillions of posts about workbenches on this site. There is also a great deal of discussion as to which design is the best. My advice: don't wait for an answer on this thread, go looking.
If you have drop saws, you may be interested in the recent post about Roger Gifkins' design for a sliding saw fence.

Triton have quite a nice one in their plans (in Bunnies). Someone on here may be able to help out with a copy.

I just looked at the woodworkersworkshop site and can only find advertisments. Not a free plan in sight. What am I doing wrong ?

Well said. Many of the posts here for 'Free Woodworking Plans' are websites whose main aim is to charge for plans. There are free plans available but you need to find them and all too often it is some crappy design that may have been very 'in' in the 70's.
Some insist that you register before getting into the site and goodness knows what they do with your details.
I think that if someone asks for plans of say a queen size bed that they be referred to:
a) a paying-for-plan type site if they are prepared to pay, or
b) a plan that is readily available (eg Triton, home hardware or Bunnings type plan, or a reference to a woodwork magazine with the said plans.

Hey Len,

What I've figured out about the woodworkersworkshop site is that the pages have ads on the top and along the sides but the content is in the middle. They sell plans and list over 10,000 free plans. Who counts that stuff?? You'll see links to categories they have, then there's individual listings. Fairly easy to navigate. black1 listed the link, here it is again http://www.woodworkersworkshop.com/resources/index.php?cat=102

happy surfing :D

I found free plans for workbenches. As simple or fancy as you like. Good site, just ignore the rubbish.
