    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!

  • That’s all stuff that can be bought or rented, though. It’s trivial.

    And 9 months before a likely start date, so were the exact details.

    Unless you had a stack of suitable leftover timber and absolutely nothing else to use it for, it's madness. You'll struggle to get suitable raw timber less than Jeld-wen can supply a finished product. Without the space to easily build them perfectly flat and square, any small errors in your joints will probably show up as a twist or bow.

    Yes it could be done as a first project, but you'd learn just as much by building a workbench and storage. At least you'll have somewhere to work and would be able to take it with you, if/when you move.
