The Plans
I picked up the plans on the internet. I googled NRMA Bench plans and I got all sorts of links. The NRMA does not have a website anymore. Not sure what happened. THe plans are 4 pages, with a material list and instructions step by step. Not sure how much the materials will cost. I know that I will need 3 sheets of 3/4 ply, a sheet of 1/4" ply, some 2x4s, 2x6's and a couple 4x4's. Miss bolts and screws. The plans have everything laid out nicely. I plan to cut out the wood this weekend. This will be a two weekend project (I work a lot). I found a picture of the bench on the internet. Not sure who built this bench, but he did a real nice job. It looks big. 72" wide by 34" deep. The plan shows 42" for the bench top. That can be shortened. Here's the picture. Looks nice.
