First workbench

3 years ago by Armok to c/woodworking

Had to get my garage foundation worked on which required removing everything from the back wall - the workbench from 1970 that was attached to the wall didn't survive.

So I made my own! It's only 18" deep so it can fit between cars, I pull them out to work on both sides. I have found that it needs some sort of anchor though since it's so shallow.

I haven't drilled holes for some pop-up dogs or holdfasts yet but that and a finish of some sort of next. Any suggestions? Thanks for letting me show it off. I know it's simple but I'm happy with it.

That top looks nice and flat. Nice job. You could try adding a piece of plywood over the bottom stretchers and give yourself a storage shelf.

Yeah I just haven't decided if I wanted plywood or to plane down some pallet boards. More weight wouldn't hurt
