Jack,
I built my bench using "American Woodworkers $250 Workbench" plans. I
couln't be happier with the results.
I don't have a copy to send you but I know you can order them from
American Woodworker.

The original design came from AW over 10 years ago. A couple of years back
another individual wanted plans to build a bench that also required minimal
tools. He also had a couple of other requests. Since I had built the bench
that was featured in AW, I fired up AutoCad, made the requested
modifications and sent the drawings off. Had a number of requests for the
bench in different formats (dwg, dxf and pdf) and an individual (forgot his
name) kindly converted the drawings to pdf format and Ernie Hunt posted them
to his site for downloading. I just checked and they're still available to
download.

May or may not be to your liking but several others have used the plans and
made their own modifications to suit their needs and pocketbook.

Yes, I am currently building one found on www.buildeazy.com (free as
are most of their plans), it's been a piece of cake so far and I've
never built anything before. :) Sure, my effort is a little rough
around the edges because I don't have the best tools for the job but
the 1/3 completed bench is sturdy and a good size.
Cheers, Max

Greetings,
When I made my bench, I documented the the process, while its not really
a plan, I think it would give some pretty good insight on making your own
bench...if you would like to see how it went together, go to:
http://dchaynie.home.mindspring.com/contents.htm
Click on the projects link to see the bench...its about six feet long,
made for neandering....mostly anyway...:>
hope this helps...
