If you want the other extreme, I have the 1921 edition of 'Things to Make' by Archibald Williams.
I looked at his design then altered the sizes to use the builders off-cuts I rescued from being burned, and made a temporary bench in the new garage. Twenty two years later I haven't yet made the 'proper' one. It also appears to be part of Project Gutenberg...

The bench is the second design, the first being a sawing trestle, presumably to convert locally felled timber into usable boards.
