You also may want to get ahold of the preceeding article (same author) about
building the bench. I used this article and found it very worthwhile. It
was sometime last year.

Hello,

I have been in the planning stages for building my woodworking bench for a
few years now. I have purchased hard maple in both 4/4 and 8/4 in 8" and
greater widths. I also secured a Lee Valley twin screw vice for the tail
vise a couple of years ago. I have the Acorn Workbench plans and have read
various workbench building articles over the last few years and checked
out the sjobergs over at the local Woodcraft. I was already to start over
the holidays.

Then I got my December copy of FWW and saw the picture of the Essential
Workbench in the article about making the storage cabinets for it. I
really like the look of it and would like to get more info. Anybody have a
scanned copy or point me to a place where the article is archived? Or if
you have the article, all I really want to know is a few dimensions - I
know HOW I want to build the bench, just still a little unsure of the
size. If you could post the length and width of the benchtop and
particularly the thickness of the benchtop I would appreciate it. It looks
like it probably has a skirt around the perimeter, but I want to know the
actual thickness of the top, not the skirt.

Thanks in advance.

-jj
