Craftsman Toy Box Bench

November 21, 2019 by Amy Leave a Comment

Craftsman Toy Box Bench

When I was a youngster growing up, we had this great wooden toy box that doubled as a bench.  I remember the bench being able to hold tons of toys and also be a great hide and seek spot.  This new bench plan is a play off of that old toy box bench. I decided to recreate the toy box bench, but in craftsman style...a little more up to date with the current trends. I found this … [Read more...]

Backpack Storage Bench Plans

My sister has a very open concept rambler house without a mudroom space (it's the only thing she doesn't like about her house). She hates clutter, and with 4 kids in school ranging from high school to elementary school she was in desperate need of a way to organize all those backpacks. There is one wall at the end of the kitchen cabinets that she had a decorative cabinet on and … [Read more...]

Build an Easy 2×4 Double X Bench

Build an Easy 2×4 Double X Bench

Last summer I built a double X bench out of 2x4's and 2x3's, I love it and it fits perfectly on my front porch.  When drawing up the plans for that bench I was trying to keep with the look of an inspiration piece and some of the build was unnecessarily tricky without an extra pair of hands.  Also if your 2x4's have a little twist in them, there was no way to correct that and … [Read more...]

Double X Bench Plans

I've been searching for the perfect bench for my front porch.  It's a narrow and smallish space.  Then I spotted a super cute bench from Simply Jenna's instagram feed, I love her style.  (I'm sorry I'm not sure where here instagram feed went.) I modified the look a bit to make it longer and added an extra X. So far I'm really liking it on the porch.  The bench is 42" … [Read more...]

Shoe Shelf Bench with Pocket Holes

Shoe Shelf Bench with Pocket Holes

This plan is for a great bench that also doubles as shoe storage.  The original plan used dados, this version uses pocket holes* for the joinery instead.  Obviously everyone will have a different size of bench to fit their need, so I created the plans with a customizable spreadsheet.  Enter in the desired bench length, height, and depth along with how many columns you want and … [Read more...]

Shoe Shelf Bench

During that big housing crisis, we were looking to get into a better neighborhood.  We were super lucky and sold our old house and found an unfinished house.  The main priorities were to finish what needed to be done to move in, and all of the perks would have to come later.  One room layout that never worked for our family was the bench and hangers in the mudroom.  I know the … [Read more...]
