Kid size workbench plan

[scmhogg]

Some time ago one of the members wanted plans for a child size workbench. I found the Craftsman club booklet with the bench plans if anyone wants them. It is an easy to make, very sturdy bench. It has lasted well for ten years now. My little one is now 6'2" so I don't think we will need to use the plans again.

I'm thinking that would be a neat thing to do with my grandson. Are you offering the booklet itself, a scanned version, or what? Looks pretty straightforward, but I guess I'd be more interested in the dimensions.

Stick,

I can do it either way. Up to you. I had intended to mail the actual booklet. But, it is only 10 small pages. Two will fit on a page. Let me know. I love the idea that someone can have the experience I had, building ours with my son. Some of my happiest memories are Wednesday nights, when Mom played tennis, and Michael and I would make things together. Lots of school projects. Tesla coil for the science fair, a one-half size catapult to hurl fruit for the medieval fair at middle school. . .

These memories of Wednesdays allowed him to live during his teens. When he was telling me he hated me, or I just didn't understand, or DUH!!, I pictured his face when the Tesla coil issued a four inch spark, and I let him live.

He is twenty now and getting more reasonable day by day.

I emailed you.

I know what you mean. My eldest daughter had no interest in anything hands on, my son was only interested in motorcycles and snowmobiles. The next 5 girls have all grown up interested in woodworking, but could care less about anything mechanical, even driving. Wierd. i went through years of little projects and them "helping" me do things. All are grown and gone now but one 14 year old, and she's big enough to use my shop, but having discovered boys, is fast losing interest. But anyway, with 7 kids, I'm pretty much assured a whack more grandkids, and the two I have already are showing a healthy interest at 5 and 8. It's those two I'm thinking about for the bench.

Wish our girl would take some interest. Is that club still available ?

Of course she has a masters degree in shopping she has earned from he summers with Nana
