OWG has been awarded a "Shoulder to Shoulder" grant by Mens Sheds and DRINKIQ to produce a work bench for community use in our cruck barn.

OWG Fellow Cora Firth has produced a design and timber list that has been used to resaw seasoned European Larch to make the bench.

The resawn timber is being processed through the thicknesser planer to ease measuring and mark up of joints together with improving aesthetics by highlighting the woodgrain.

The workbench components are now in Cora's workshop where she is making a solid workbench for use by the bodgers in the cruck barn.

Overall dimensions are variable depending on the height of the intended users and typical work being done. Final height will be adjusted on site.
