First Workbench

First Workbench

image

Here is my first project. I made a workbench for my father for Christmas. It came out pretty good for a first project, the plans came from the Lowes website. I made a few modifications but all in all it’s pretty much what the plan called for. What you can’t see in these pictures is the underneath the 3/4” plywood top there is 2×4’s standing on edge and are glued together, made for a nice and solid top.

Dave home \| projects \| blog 15 posts in 331 days posted 323 days ago	Thanks for the comments everyone. Tomcat1066 – Oh yeah it’s very heavy weighs a little more then I expected :), my Dad likes to tinker and he puts his stuff through the ringer and gives everything a workout. I like to call it “Roger proof” being that is his name :) Oh one more thing I forgot to add is that I used some Watco Danish Oil for the finish just hand rubbed in. It could probably use another coat at some point.
