Let's See Your Workbench

[Bird]

It appears that 4 x 4s are popular for the legs on workbenches, and they certainly make good legs, but the so called landscape timbers that are flat on two sides and rounded on the other two are much cheaper and as long as they're going to be inside and not get wet, I figure they'd last a lifetime.

When I bought this place there was a couple of kitchen cabinet tear outs setting loose in the shop. Fastened them to the wall and ripped a 4x8 sheet of 3/4" high density particle board for underlay and topped with 1/4" masonite. Made 2 2x8 work benches with drawers and storage shelves already in. Put up pegboard behind and it made a pretty good setup. Now if I could just keep from piling stuff on them so you can never see the tops...
Not the best pic, but it does show one wall. Metal shelves and lockers come in mighty handy as well, it pays to scrounge.

Well You asked for it! I tend to look for things in the last place I used them. Drives my wife crazy. She is a super neat freak with everything organized. Needless to say I am not allowed in her sewing room and she stays out of my garage. There is a workbench or two buried under that stuff.

Right now both of mine 'one metal topped other just plywood' are BURIED in items waiting on parts, manuals and tools and half done "quick fix" stuffs....... ALOT like everybodys benches!!

Well my workbench for the last 30 years in Virginia has been a Delta table saw.

BUT in my retirement workshops I'm using pallet racking.

I've got about 120 linear feet of pallet racking in various configurations, but all are 8' or 8.5' beams.

I put down a 3/4" piece of plywood and then a sheet of 3/4 masonite on top. So far I've 7 workbenches.

Yes, mine does similar tricks - takes days to find it again.

Shopfox workbench leg set $159 plus Grizzly 72x30 inch maple top 1.75 inches thick $199 both purchased from Grizzly. I have owned two of these, the best workbench leg set value out there, Heavy Duty is not an understatement.

My pole barn is going to be built in the next couple months and I've been contemplating different work bench options. I was hoping you guys could give me some ideas. So let's see 'em!!!

This is my little shop, the tops are 2x12 syp, the doors, rail & styles are spruce, all have 3 coats of poly for durability, I also put full access sliders in as storage in a small area was critical.

Thanks guy's. I do believe you both have a good space to accomplish your desires, mine is a place to just let it loose and enjoy, this took me 1-1/2 years to complete and I still find myself looking at ways to make it more efficient.

L.O.L.---Be ashamed to show mine!

My bench can really hide from me, I can never see the top, and I think it moves somewhere else while I am looking for it! :laughing:

It is an old gurney with the top removed, and a 8' solid door on it.


I put everything on casters, so they can be stored pushed together in a small space, then pulled out with room to use it, when needed.
