With our new house came limited storage. After finally getting some things put away, I have been able to get some of my tools off the ground and on some shelving. I realized it would be pretty handy to have a workbench and that would create a spot where I could have all my stuff together. I discovered some plans online and created a 3D model using Google’s SketchUp. Here’s my progress so far.

Got my 2×4’s cut to size, still need to make sure they’re square enough to put together (could really use a table saw ;)).

In process of cutting the 3/4″ oak plywood. I used a couple spare pieces for the platform for my bike stand.

Top skeleton is done

Bottom shelf finished

Back Legs

Top skeleton in place

Top piece of plywood in place (not screwed down)

Wanted to see what it would like once it’s done… ran out of screws =/

Here’s one shot of the finished work bench

And another from the front

Pretty happy with how it turned out!
