Here’s a quick workbench I whipped up for my nieghbor. I think total materials may have been about $70 and maybe a days work. The entire bench was made from 2×12 and 4×4s from Lowes. The bench stands about 36” high 24” wide and 6’ long. This was the first of four I ended up making for him. The the aprons and rails were attached with 10×50 dominos and secured with 6” lags as I didn’t have time to clamp.
Enjoy,
RJ

Quick and cheap is good, but it looks quite functional and that is all the better. Looks good.

If you screw a piece of 3/4” sandply on top you still have a good looking bench and can replace the top after too much use.

like said above quick and cheap is good and it seems like your bench here although being quick and cheep has quite some meat and strength behind it! thanks for the post.

I have to say it I was pleasantly surprised just how stable it really was when I was complete. It was designed loosely on the english workbench in Chris Schwarz’s book “Workbenches” and well I can’t wait to make one for myself!
