Does anyone know of plans available on the internet to build a bench using a solid core door as a bench top? Thank You in advance, Joe Shea snipped-for-privacy@comcast.net

Please turn off the HTML.
I built mine without plans...
But then, I build pretty much everything without plans...
Here's a really nice one:

above is a pay plan. It also appeared in Woodsmith long about 1995. You might be able to find a back copy.
If you can't, let me know and I'll dig mine out for you.
I made one of these benches a few years back.
Very sturdy. Very inexpensive.

Kindly post in text, not html. Here's just one site I turned up with a simple google search...

Dave, is that tongue and groove flooring on the top? I tried looking for specifics on your web site but got scared off. }:^)
Yes, it's maple T&G. I broke the glaze on the door with 80 grit paper (I recommend an unfinished door if you have a choice) then both glued and toe-nailed the T&G.
On pic 4 you can see the board nailed to the edge of the door that I used to fit the T&G against. I used 2" finishing nails angled through the top corner of the tongue.
One of these days I'll get around to doing a proper index.

SOLID CORE DOOR BENCH PLANS
a solid core door as a bench top?
It's called the Weekend Workbench.

did it/have it. It's OK to get you started.
When are you starting on Nick's bench? Joe
After I finish SWMBO's coffee table... (running joke here)
