PROJECT BENCH

Project by spanky46 posted 288 days ago 1255 views 8 times favorited 9 comments Add to Favorites Watch

I built this in 2006. All melamine carcass. Oak solid core door for a top with Masonite laminated on and a maple edge. Its very heavy so I put fixed casters on one end.

That looks like one sturdy bench. I like the storage that you have in it. Looks great.

Excellent, I really like it. I used a solid core door with masonite top also. But I didn’t add the maple edge…I think I’m going to have to add that it looks to good not to.

I went a route similar to yours for a workbench, I did not make a traditional European style bench. This style of bench will last for years and serve just as well.

Everything you make will now be made upon this table.

Great looking work bench. Now that I got my new saw I plan to make a catch table/assembly table with storage similar to yours. Having a smaller shop, one needs all the storage he can get. You did a great job on this unit. Thanks for posting.

God Bless
