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.

Usage
Pressing use 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
When used as a fuel in a furnace, a crafting table lasts 15 seconds (or 1.5 items).
