Building a new workbench

The old workbench in my shop has served me well over the years, but ultimately was not what I needed to meet the needs of my upcoming 2013 project list.  A quick trip to Home Depot and I had all the parts I needed for a replacement.

  • 1 - 4x8 sheet of red oak plywood
  • 5 - 2x4s
I used some 2 1/2 exterior decking screws leftover from a previous project to hold things together, as well as recycled some casters to make the base mobile.  A few hours later, everything was cut/prepped/assembled.


At the moment, the desktop surface is just sitting on the legs;  I'll need to make another quick run to depot to get a few small 90 degree brackets to permanently attach it.
