The need for more storage and increased tabletop area prompted this new workbench. Approximately 78” long by 35” deep, the workbench has 4 drawers on each side (top 3 are equal sizes of 20” x 20” x 4.5 inches high while bottom drawer is 7 inches high) and a center cabinet. Each drawer has routed dados in the centers for 1/4” plywood dividers. Top is constructed from 3/4” MDF with 1/4” hardboard placed on top. I fastener the hardboard with a couple pieces of carpet tape so replacement will be easy down the road. The top was then edged with 1” pine to conceal the edges and increase clamping area.
