Workbench project: Completed
 

So I went out last week and bought enough wood to build myself a new workbench for my garage. I built it based on a set of free plans I found here. I also modified the plans slightly to make it portable, shortened the legs and added wheels.

I still haven't finished the face vice, or attached the top, but it's 99% done. I think I'm going to add another set of 2x4's under the table top to raise it up just a hair more, eventually I also want to add some storage shelves underneath between the support legs, but thats a project for another day.

Anyway, I rolled it outside to clean my garage floor (from all the sawdust), and took some better pictures of it.

Total cost, $175. It would have been much cheaper, but the 225 lb wheels and the vices both cost an arm and a leg

nice work

Guys who post pictures of their workbenches on the internet have small pee pee's.

Guys who think about other guys cocks are ghey

Looks good Fred!

Looks great Fred

Pretty badass, dude.

You can always change your name to Matt, the quadriplegic woodworker.

The wheels are a good idea, however...you may find that even in locked mode, they'll tend to skid around under force, like when you're beating the sideways living shit out of something.

I was a roadie, trust me on this one.

But, now that you have a workbench, you can built some nifty rectangular boxes that will accommodate both wheels on each end, (that's a total of two, count 'em, two boxes) and cover the bottoms of them with some grippy shit, and presto- you have achieved relative frictional solidity.

Fucking awesome, Fred. Nice work, dude.

There are some pedal operated lifting pads I can get if it becomes a problem.
