I made this workbench a few years ago mostly out of scrap pcs I had in the shop. Sorry it’s so dusty! The drawer are solid wood construction with dovetails. If I had to do it all over again, I would have put 100% drawer glides on it. Otherwise it’s been a good bench.

Perfect !!
I guess with a bench like this you would have to really nit pick to find and area of improvment. Nice variety of vises, tons of storage and a top with made that much more awesome by the use of contrasting colored woods. Nice touch.

This is a great bench, thanks for shring your work.

Does that shop radio have a cassetT player? If that’s an RCA model I have the same one.

The radio had a cassette player. It was a pioneer brand purchased in 1980!

Very nice looking Workbench & Drawers.
What are the height of the cabinet for the drawers? What are the height of the drawers and why?
Would you have used Full extension opening drawer slides?
Thank you for sharing your Workbench & Drawers. I will be building mine in October. I need all the Information I can get.

Really nice bench! I bet that there is a lot of storage in all of those drawers.

I see a pellet gun on the bench in one of the pictures. I am into pellet guns as another hobby. What is the one pictured on the bench?

That’s a very solid looking bench and with all of those drawers it is so functional. Good work.

I’m out of town now and don’t have access to the bench for measurements. I would definetly use full extension glides next time. The drawers range in height from about 3” for screwdirvers and 9” for routers.

I’ve had the pellet gun for quite a while. I don’t recall the brand but it’s a single pump gun I bought from walmart.
