My Samurai Carpenter Workbench Build Part 1 Bench Top and Legs
Channel: Small Workshop Guy
Date: 10/04/2018

Working on a 5 foot version of a workbench inspired by the Samurai Carpenter.  Here in Part 1, I am showing the process of getting the bench top and the apron and the legs and base in ROUGH form.  This is a challenging project with many mortises and tenons.   

I subsequently finished this build and posted a full video.  You can view that here: https://youtu.be/BZ7Ng3zRF8Q
