Hang Up on the Wall-Hung Workbench - Notched Cuts Template
Back at the end of July, I posted a photo of the wall-hung workbench that I had selected to build first in the garage (garden bench) and then down in my shop (once I got the hang of it!). I pulled down some plans from WoodSmith Plans and got started ripping down the lumber to make all the pieces. But there was a part that I got hung up on - these angled brackets with notched cuts at the bottom that I've circled above. The plan calls for these supports to be notched and attached to a ledger board (that gets attached to the wall). But, my little, amateur woodworking brain couldn't quite figure out how to make those cuts. I took a sacrificial board and drew all over it to get the angles right. I even took it over to Nat's Dad's house and had him mark it up so I could figure out the best way to make the cuts. He showed me how to use my table saw to get most of the wood out, then a saber saw to make the final cuts. But then I got home and had to actually do it
