https://www.lfgss.com/comments/16210553/You dismissed the sensible advice, mild banter and moderate mocking until you seemed to take the hump with "Clear enough"
By that point, you still had no tools, timber or work area until S22. So any further advice about how to actually make them would have been mostly pointless.
I bet things would be different had you followed up sometime later with the purchase of a planer/ thicknesser, router table and saw, etc. Asking for tips to build a work bench as a learning project!

Dammit
It's a funny thing, this whole storm in a tea cup.
Obviously you've been a total prick - but the interesting thing (the remarkable thing, in its original sense) is why.
You were clearly very badly triggered by the idea of my doing some carpentry, to the extent that you went from a standing start to "burn it down", without escalating through mild banter, moderate mocking etc.
Much as "friendliest forum on the internet" is thrown around to ironically describe interaction on here it's rare for someone to truly get the knives out, which you did in response to what on the surface was no provocation.
Which, as I said, was and is remarkable. Your use of "butt hurt" is, I think, a part of this - that phrase is projection on your part I suspect.
Why were you so badly triggered? I don't know, but - conjecture would be:
What conclusion can we draw? I think it's fair to say that your professional life makes up a large part of your identity, what you are proud of and what you believe sets you apart/gives you value.
I think, therefore, that you felt threatened by my intention of doing something you see as part of your professional arena as a bit of fun. Maybe you thought it cheapened it, and because your self image relies so heavily on being an amazing carpenter you took it as a personal attack - hence the nuclear response, out of all proportion to the provocation.
Maybe the above is all bollocks, but it filled 10 miles of London stop/start traffic earlier this evening as I tried to work out plausible reasons for your behaviour.
And, of course, this doesn't excuse you being such a prick, even if it might explain it.
