I have decided to tackle this one on my own (first of 2 benches I plan to build). I figured I should start a new thread so I can ask for help and post progress pics. I was going to wait till the shed was approved/built before I started but tis killing me! So today I went to the local mill and purchased the timber to start on the base.
The bench I am building is this one from fine woodworking: http://ift.tt/1AlqDDi
This is a pic of the base:

So the first question I have is, does anyone have a jointer on the northside of brisbane who can spare me some time to run the stock through once I cut it to size? I have a thicknesser but no jointer. I am planning to buy one, but just holding out till I get the shed (although this may change!). Alternatively I guess i could stop being lazy and handplane it!
Scratch that, decided I am going to use a hand plane to clean it up!!
Second questions is, how can I round of the feet and cut the bottom section out given my lack of machinery at this point? I think I should be able to do the round off by cutting the edges down on the table saw and then maybe planing or sanding. Thoughts?
Thanks.
