Farmhouse Bench

BySCWD

This was the second of a two part series for my wife’s command center area. I really wanted to design my own bench, but my wife really liked this particular farmhouse bench style.

This was a fun project to make. We used a specific stain recipe to give it a weathered look. This was the same stain recipe that was used on the command center.

It fits nicely under the command center and is a very solid bench.

Materials Used: 

  • 2×4 Studs
  • 1×4 White Wood Boards
  • 1×2 Furring Stripe Boards
  • 2″ Construction Screws
  • 2 ½” Construction Screws
  • Titebond II Wood Glue
  • Varathane Semi Gloss Poly Spray
  • Varathane Dark Walnut Stain

She kept jumping over our retro 80’s low front fence. Our fence,  barely reaching 4′ in height, the dog would jump over it with ease. So…

    When I was first setting up my shop,  I made some quick shelving for my power tool boxes. Like everything in life, we tend to look back and critique some things. Well, I think the new version of the shelf is better. It’s nothing special, I just used a couple of pieces of plywood and…

    I needed something quick and handy for my growing collection of drill bits. I made an identical cabinet for my router bit collection as a trial run and I liked it. So I just duplicated it for my drill bits. It’s just a basic cabinet for my drill bits. Nothing elaborate or anything. I started…

    I wasn’t really needing a tape dispenser, but I saw a random video on YouTube and it gave me an idea. Honestly, I think it’s a great thing to have in the shop. This dispenser can accommodate all sizes of tapes in random orders as well. The dividers can be arranged in any order. I’ve…
