I have not had much time in the shop this past year, my day job has kept me pretty busy. My wife’s dauters’s husband’s (AKA son-in-law) birthday was coming up, they just bought a home with a garage. I thought they needed a place to make sawdust and bang things around a bit so I offered to build it and he said he would like it.
I know it is not up to the “Work Bench” standards that I have seen here and drool over but I am working up to that :)
My wife and I will go to town (25 miles away) and find a vice to add to this bench and maybe down the road add a draw or two.

That’ll work! Good job. Everyone needs a place to make sawdust and bang things around a bit.

Simple is just as good. The fact that you took the time to do that for him I’m sure he will be very touched.
Maybe that will inspire him to do a project with you.
Keep up the good work.

That will work great. He can use as both woodworkers and a tinkers bench. This is always needed in a new house.

Nice job on the bench. It’s a heck of a nice house-warming gift.

Looks up to standards to me, especcially when one considers the only real “standards” for a workbench is that it.. well… works. That looks like it fits the bill and gets the job done.

Great work. The term “workbench” covers a broad range of types. It looks as if you have created a very useful general purpose bench that every garage needs. Specialized workbenches can come later as he develops his interests.
