The (almost) no plans bench build

[Doingupthehouse]

The reversible middle strip. What I did with mine was to graduate the height, one end is very low for planing thin parts and the other is higher to prevent larger pieces jumping over it - I can turn it end to end. The middle 200mm is flush so I can use that part of the bench without turning the strip over.

I did think of doing some sort of stepped arrangement - still could in future, but I'll see how I get on with this first. Having a flush section in the middle sounds like a good idea.

Certainly - it's easily and cheaply altered.
