Crafting Table

The Crafting Table (originally called Workbench) is one of the most essential blocks in Minecraft.

Obtaining
Crafting tables can be mined with any tool, or without a tool, but the axe is the quickest.

Natural generation
Crafting tables generate naturally in village libraries, witch huts and igloos.

Crafting
Pressing on a crafting table placed in the world will open the 3×3 crafting grid which allows you to craft more items than with the crafting grid in your inventory.

If you disconnect, move more than eight blocks away or close the crafting interface the items inside will drop in front of you.

Fuel
Crafting tables can be used as a fuel in furnaces, smelting 1.5 items per block.

Trivia

 * The new icon for Minecraft (not the launcher) is a crafting table.
