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.

I like the 2x4 table top. What was the build process for that?

Planed them all flat, glued them into two pieces, then planed those and glued them together as well. It is attached to the stand with pocket holes for easy removal.
