Work Bench Magazine Jan/Feb 1966

Featured Replies

Boy it's been a long time since I have done one of these! I plum forgot about them till I started cleaning out my bench today and out popped my old 60's collection of Work Bench Magazines! I used to post an issue about once a week awhile back and feature some of the plans. I'll try to start that back up here.


As I described in my original post a year or more ago regarding copyright on these old issues. I called the current Work Bench headquarters and they stated they really did not care if I put these old issues out to the public, there is nothing left of the old Work Bench, no heirs, no structure, it is just gone, vanished! So there are no copyright infringements going on here folks!


As many of you are new here since I posted one of these, I typically post the cover and table of contents, and if you see anything you might be interested in, I can scan it and post it in our Free Plans area for our members use. So feel free to shout out an article or plan you'd like to see up.


Now keep in mind, the plans within the magazine assume a skill level on the part of the reader, these are not necessarily skill building plans or "How To's" but more of a schematic layout of parts and assembly process's.


For this issue I am going to wet the appetite with an Old Fashioned Wash Stand below the Table of Contents. Let me know if you see anything in the contents you'd like to see! Have fun!

John - thanks for the project.  One thing struck me in the picture of the finished project - only a 2-wire outlet on the wall.  Oh - forgot - that picture was taken in 1966 BEFORE the government made us tie the neutral wire over to the ground lug on the outlet.

Great observation Fred!


I don't see that as political in nature, it's just an observation of our ever changing building codes!

Holy Cow Batman!,



I just renovated (ripped out) a room just like the one on the cover.  Installed tin ceiling in place of the drop ceiling.  Master bedroom has the paneling but glued acoustic tile on the ceiling.  That's next.
