The wood is 3.5×3.5 inch pine. The upper and lower surfaces are 1 inch thick birch plywood. The wood was supplied to me already cut to size from the mill, I assembled it using only screws.

I remember when I was little, my mother showed me some wooden furniture built long time ago at a skansen somewhere in eastern Europe.

"You see?" She said. "Long time ago, two left handed people like you would just not survive!".

Well, I don't have two left hands anymore!

Although I must say, I don't think they had powered drill back in the day, nor pre cut wood to order online 😆

Nice Work!!

I don't know if you have it easily available there in Israel, but if you want to protect the top get some 1/8" tempered hardboard (or some call it masonite here in the USA) and put that on top. I have done that with both of my benches it is very hard and as it gets beat up, spilled on, glued on, cut, marked, etc. you can just pull it up and replace it. I just attach it with a few small finish head brads.
