re: Building A Workbench

Bo
Not everyone needs an elaborate workbench actually I’ve never owned a true woodworking bench even though I"m amazed at how wonderful they look with the great woods and outstanding dovetails, a good solid work table will work for you,yes you will not have some of the bells and whistles a nice bench wil give you,but you will have a good work area ,my work table is 4′×8′ made very simply with 4×4 for legs and screwed on 2×6 for the aprons and top cross supports basically the top is built like you would frame a wall but using deck screws instead of nails,then just screw the 4×4s to the corners. I then have a sheet of 3/4" melamine for the top. you can attach vises where every it works best for you.
