Great bench and outstanding storage. You will appreciate all of the storage. Great job!

Looks great and a lot of storage too. Well done, the only thing that could make it better, is if it were in my shop.

Looks great, does what you intended, what could be better.

Very nice! In the process of building some boxes under the bench myself. What material are the handles?

Great work….thanks.

-- Jeff - I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

The pulls are aluminum from here. I wanted something unobtrusive that wouldn’t hide the drawer fronts. I thought about some standard bar type pulls, but they were too thick.

Thanks for all your comments.

Fantastic work, I can only imagine the planning you had to do to make the bench and the drawer sets come together. Add that to quality craftsmanship…very impressive!
Your work bench is furniture quality! The color contrast is fantastic too.

I see you linked where you found your pulls; is there any chance you have a cut list/board foot quantity of materials you used to make the bench? and drawers?

What a great bench, Almost too nice to use! Enjoy!

That’s an awesome workbench! I’ve been thinking about designing something up similar to that lately. I really like that style of workbench and I wanted something with storage. Nicely done.

That is the most beautiful bench I have ever seen…(at least that I can recall).

Great job.

Unfortunately I do not have a cut list, or board foot quantity. Its been too long since I bought the wood for the bench to remember that, but the cabinets were a little more recent. I bought:

1- 4’x8’x3/4” sheet of shop grade birch plywood for carcass
3- 1”x4”x16’ poplar for the drawer sides of 6 of the 9 drawers
1- 1”x6”x16’ poplar for the one tall drawer and 2 small drawers
2- 5’x5’x1/2” Baltic Birch ply for the drawer bottoms and back of the boxes.
Then I think I used about 6 b.f. of Jatoba for the drawer fronts.

You can find plans on Fine Wood Worker for the bench and the cabinet (2 separate sets of plans). I customized the size for my needs and the lengths of wood that I had.

very nice….

-- Matt, Pine is fine, but Oak's no joke!

Beautiful work could I Get the plans for this project much appreciated.

More great work my friend

I have three drawers that are approx the same dimensions as your drawers. I think I am going to split them like you did. Great work thanks for the share!
