Hi John,
I’ve been researching workbenches to see which I would like to build and I really liked your “New Fangled Workbench” article & design. I know that it was written to allow the reader the opportunity to design his own according to the needs, but being a newbie to woodworking I would prefer working with a set of plans. I was wondering if you had planned to sell the plan for the table you built at the website store or anywhere else for that matter. I think this table is the one I would like to build but am a bit hesitent to just jump in headfirst without a little guidance. Thanks.

You are certainly not the first person to ask for plans for that bench, but I'm sorry to say that none are available. I hope to someday offer a detailed set of plans and instructions for building the bench, but that isn't likely to happen while I am still working full time for the magazine.
In the mean time, because we are still being asked about the bench fairly often, we have shot a short video about the bench which will be posted here on the Knots site soon, it is being edited now. The video won't show you a lot of details about the bench's construction, but you'll get a chance to see it in use.
If you search through the Knot's archives for the "Newfangled Workbench" or perhaps just "workbench" and my name you should be able to find a bit more information, since I have been asked about it repeatedly over the past several years. There's a post in this section dated March 8th that has a bit more information.
