It is my first plane build. I do not know what is good and what is bad.
I do not know in advance which workbench I will like the most.
I decided instead of making the ultimate workbench to build a workbench which is just good enough to start building.
When I have more experience I can rebuild my cheap workbench for something more suitable.
Or keep it. Or upgrade it. I am building a simple workbench similar to what I saw in the Zenith workshop.
Just for fun for the beams I decided to make locks instead of just a half lap joint.
I decided to build 12 feet workbench. Such long beams do not fit into my car. I bought 8 ft long beams and batjoined them together.
I used Liquid Nail construction adhesives to glue the beams.
