Task · part of 3. Woodwork and fixing things: choose three of seven

3(b). Build a workbench

Optional May not apply

This may not apply to you. You have not answered "Requirement 3: which THREE of the seven?" yet. Answer it and this step will either settle or drop off.

The largest single job in this menu and probably on the badge. It also solves the problem of where to do the other thirteen.

Note. THE BIGGEST JOB HERE, AND IT SOLVES A PROBLEM THE OTHER THIRTEEN CREATE. A workbench is the largest single option on this badge, but it also gives you somewhere to do the furniture repair, the picture frame, the lamp cord and the glazing. If you are choosing three from this menu and you have nowhere to work, choose this one first.
