The Carpentry for Gardeners - make a bench focuses on the specifics of building for outdoor and rough conditions. You’ll learn about suitable hardware and techniques for outdoor construction, along with tips and tricks for prolonging the life of the things you build.

It covers the fundamentals of tool use and techniques, including:
