A work bench 8' or 10' long, 2' in width and 3' high, or height of thigh joint, makes a convenient bench to move to any room in finishing, and when a longer length is needed, hook on an extension. It should be equipped with a bench screw, and clamp, also with a bench stop on the top, that can be lowered and raised for any thickness of board.

The dimension of lumber for the bench, 4 pieces of 2"x4"x3' for the legs, 4 pieces of 2"x4"x2' for top supports. Nailed between the side boards. One piece 3x4 hard wood for clamp. Two pieces 1" x l2" x l0' for side boards. Two pieces 1 1/4" x l2" x l0' for top. Four pieces 1" x 4" x 3' for braces. Straighten the top edge of side boards and outer edge of top to form a straight corner to work from. (Fig. 72.)
