    Workbench/Table for Shop

    I spent my Iced in day working in the shop building this little 24" X 48" X 36" workbench/Table for the shop. It came out pretty good and suits my needs well I think.

    Looks good & sturdy.

    I've been kicking around a 2x4 bench design in my head for several days now too.

      That should serve you well, looks very solid. How did you attach the shelf/stretchers to the legs, do you get any racking?

        Okay, what exactly does "iced in" mean?

          db, Iced in means the streets were icey and I don't go out until the thaw.

          The Shelf Stretchers are screwed to the legs poolhound.

          This thing looks small and it is but weigh's a ton.

            lt looks very solid. Were the 2x4's kiln dried, (select grade?). I used 4x4's for the legs on mine and 2x4's for stretchers. The biggest challenge was finding relatively straight fir that wasn't too knotty. I ended up buying longer pieces and using the centers after visiting about 4 lumber yards. Would love to find a good source for top quality dimensional lumber.

              It was all better grade lumber and I looked for the straightest and most knot free I could find. It is just a workbench/table but I wanted it to look fairly nice anyway.
