Hey I built a thing… like a year ago… then forgot to publish the content on it… This Mid Century Modern Storage bench actually was built for Makers Challenge Central TBC 11… we wrapped up season 13 a few months ago… yeah… so… They do call me “Lazy” Guy DIY.
With that in mind, here’s the full build tutorial in video form!
If you think this is a project you’d like to see a full digital build plan on, let me know in the comments and I’ll pull it together. Special shout out to Brooke and Michael from @makersworkshopLLC as that’s who I got the spalted maple slab from that kicked off this project.
If you liked this build style, check out more of my Mid-Century Modern style builds on the website in the Mid-Century Modern build feed!

I too am interested in mid century modern and plan on making a few things for around the house. This project got my attention. and I like the looks of the bench. I know I’m a bit behind the 8 ball since this was posted a while back but none the less, here I am. I also like your shop apron. If you wouldn’t mind letting me know what brand it is and how you got it I would appreciate it. Good luck as you progress with your site and shop.
Thanks Mark! Unfortunately, still getting a workspace worked out and trying to get back into the groove!
Apron is from Calavera Tool Works. Definitely a premium buy but it’s heirloom quality that you’ll keep forever.
