My mom had a request (who could refuse) she wanted a little bench for her hallway where she can set shopping bags or change her shoes. Dad sent the dimensions and I searched LJ's for some inspiration. I found a bench that fellow LJ Chris Cunanan posted. I liked the lines of the Asian bench...

My last time trying to do real woodworking with construction lumber in a long while. Entry for the current Reddit woodworking 2×4 challenge. Huge exercise in frustration trying to make the wood do stuff it just didn't want to, but the end result is sturdy enough for 250 pounds on top and for...

This one was forever ongoing since it was new territory and I was juggling a few projects at the same time. It took a while to find hinges that would let the front panel fold out and then down in order to clear the body of the bench - it really pays to design first, built second but I'll...

My plumber asked me to design and build a bench to fit in a small space in his entry way for his wife. They have been looking for some time but couldn't find what they wanted so they gave me dimensions and an idea of what they wanted and let me go at it! His wife didn't know how she wanted it...

I have been on a 5 and 6-board bench kick lately. We are a "no shoes in the house" family and there was a great spot right by the front door to take your shoes off, but no place to sit down to do it. I decided a rustic little 5-board was in order. I spent five hours from the initial sketch...

Grand daughters first birthday party preparations included this shoe bench. They don't allow shoes in the house but had no place to take off or put on shoes. For that matter store the shoes. I had extra white oak ( my favorite wood for furniture) and a holiday break. Turned out pretty well...

My daughter asked me over the Christmas break to build her a bench for changing and playing video games. She rarely asks for anything so I was off to build her a bench. It's made of Maple, legs are laminated 2 1/2 square, rails 2 1/2. Over all dimensions 20 Wide x 38 length x 20 high. There...

A shoebench made of poplar. The construction details are in my shoebench blog.

This is my latest bamboo shoe storage bench, or if you are Japanese, getabako. This time around I made this with vertical solid amber bamboo. I make and sell these shoe benches at our web site. The vertical solid bamboo is a single ply material, and it is a bit of a challenge having it milled up...

This bench uses traditional joinery wherever possible to lock the individual wood pieces together. The top and shelf slats are Ambrosia Maple, while the base is Cherry. The surfaces are left rough sawn to create an aged, rustic appearance, and lightly hand scraped to create a smoother texture...

This is a coat rack / shoe bench that I built for my parents for Christmas 2008. Why am I only posting it now? Because I just finished - I'm still pretty slow :) Everything is made of Birch plywood trimmed out in leftover Hickory from my hardwood floor. The top of the Bench is a glue-up of...

My wife asked for a bench for the kiddo's to take off and store their shoes. After much deliberation we decided that right next to the door was the only place that made sense to put it, which limited the size a bit. The bench is made from air dried walnut with mortise and tenon joinery, with...

This is a project that I designed with the eCabinet Systems software in October 2011 and had milled on another shop's Thermwood CNC. I have a pretty well equipped shop, but I make my shoe benches ready-to-assemble (RTA), so I need to have the CNC cut all of my RTA hardware holes. And for this...
