Highland_Defender:
Hi everyone,

Im wanting to make a new workbench out of timber probably, since i have lots available.

I was just wondering how anyone else has constructed theirs, or what you have incorperated into the bench etc.
Any ideas or pointers/tips would be greaty appreciated before i start.

Thanks

Callum

Height is very important, decent vice secured to bench and bench secured to floor, apart from that as big as possible, as if you are like me it will be full of sh*t in 10 minutes!

Worth seeing if you've got a wood recycling place nearby - got all the wood for mine for <£20! Mines in the corner of the garage, (well!) screwed to the wall on two sides with a fence post as a leg in the remaining corner. bench itself is built it out of 3/4" plywood with a 2"x4" frame round the edge. the metal work (coach bolts, screws and a fence post base that i was going to rawl-bolt to the floor) cost as much as the wood did!

I got some kitchen cabinets for free, stuck some 3/4 ply on top Fastened the other half to the wall then screwed the bench to the piece on the wall.
