- I did mine similar, but a little heavier-duty. I used a sheet of 1" chipboard to make two 8 x 2' benches, 2x4 framing, but I used 4x4 legs. I used scrap pieces of 3/8" ply to make shelves about 6" o

- New shop, new bench - I've always built benches out of wood and attached them to the garage studs, so they don't move with me. This time I'm probably going to do it a bit differently, and I'm looking

- A few years ago a neighbor was having new kitchen formica counters and a new sink installed. The installers left the old stuff, which the neighbor was hoping to get the curbside garbage pickup to rem

- I'm looking for suggestions for bench top/surface materials. Basically I'm renting the shop but I have installed a heavy duty wooden bench which is bolted to the studs. I may end up leaving the bench

- I have two wooden benches. I went nuts when I built them - 8 feet long, 2 feet deep, 36 inches high. They have six 4x4 legs, 2x4 braces under the top on 16" centers, and the tops are 1" chipboard. T

- When I built my last benches I used a plywood with waterproof masonite already glued to the top ( I forget the name for this stuff ). The carpenters who built my garage introduced me to this material

- I've got several benches, different heights for different functions. The main workbench came with the garage - 3'x16' x ~34" high. Built in a semi-island configuration (one short side against a wall
