For quite some time I wanted to build one, and finally did. It had been subject at popular woodworking magazine where I was first introduced to the bench.
And as we are in a big time renovation (you can read and see more on that here) , there's lots of construction wood around, and that's what I've used.
An original Skansen bench seen here:

Then my bench
A Resident (me) on the bench:

Through tenons with oak wedges:

I've used my TS for jointing the top, Carvex for making a leg template, Carvex was also used for roughly cutting the legs, OF 1400 for routing the legs, T 12 with Centrotec forstner bits to clean out most of the waste material for the mortises in the bench top and I used the OF with guide to route the mortises. Finally a Rotex 90 for sanding.
My arsenal ;D

Thanks for watching!
