Workbench ideas?

clhyer said
I did get my new workbench done. The basic design was featured in "Shop Notes" a few years back and I built the basic bench then at 8'. This new bench is 6' and I put in a row of drawers on each side that are about 20" deep and set up to use dividers if I want. The lower shelf is 3' wide. The top is made from 2X10 material with a sheet of waterproof hardboard used as a sacrificial top. All of the pine 2 by material was cut from our back yard about 3 years ago and I had it sawn to useable stock. The drawer fronts were pieces of pallets I salvaged and the drawer handles were given to me by some friends who remodeled their kitchen a few years ago. Total cost, less than $75.

Great Bench! Love the look of your shop as well. I went pretty plain with 1 4X8 sheet of 3/4 MDF cut in half to double it up and make it 1.5''. I put it on top of my toolchest and built legs on one end. I left 2'' stick out on the front for clamping and about 6-8 inches on left side for a small vise. I also like hanging my tools so I went with a white pegboard for the back spaced off the wall 1.5 inches. The height of the table to is just below my elbows so when I'm working it will be at a comfortable level. I also took an old dresser from Walmart and scrapped the drawers building my own out of 3/4 plywood with roller sliders which you can see to the left of my bench in the pic. Also on the right hand side of the bench you can see the angle grinder hanger I made out of an old 2' square. Need an under the counter power bar for tools and I'll be on my way. Love the ideas guys, keep them coming!
