Learn to make this simple but elegant bench with just a couple of basic tools in two four-hour classes. The class will include instruction on reading a plan; measuring and milling the bench pieces from stock lumber using a chop saw and a sliding compound mitre saw; and proper use of drills and drivers.

No prior woodworking experience is necessary.

This cedar bench is suitable for indoor or outdoor use, and would look great on a deck, around a campfire, or in a garden.
