Project Information
Here's my bench I built last summer based on the one from http://www.startwoodworking.com. Not counting a table I built as part of a class, I consider this my first project built on my own. Hard to get a good photo of the whole thing given the space constraints of the garage, but I think you get the basic idea.
4×4 & 2×4 dimensional lumber with a 1.5" laminated MDF top, edge-banded by Home Depot oak. The vise I got from Rockler and I slapped a piece of 2×4 onto the face.
I still put a shelf on the bottom, drill some dog holes and pick up some dogs for it, but thus far it's been pretty handy to have a place to actually work!
