I’m finally finished with my workbench and drawers. I am going to put a few coats of Zinzer Varnish on there next weekend but for now all the construction is done! The drawers are full extension 30” deep and about 32” wide. Doing all of the dovetails for the drawers took awhile and I think from now on I doubt I’ll do dovetails with plywood… to much dang chipout.

Very nicely done and a well though out layout. I am in the process of adding drawer/shelf storage to my bench but it will not turn out near as good as yours.

Are your sure that is a work bench and not an alter where 2X4’s get sacrificed? Great piece of work and lots of storage.

I really like the drawer design on the bottom. I would have to have cabinet doors on the top, with living in the timber and all (the mice think they own the joint).
Great job on this, very nice bench!!

Actually “BrianinPA” I do keep the Arc of the Covenant in the big middle drawer. So in a way i guess it is an alter of sorts ;)
I’m actually thinking on integrating some sorta of T-slot system into the front so i can mount various things to the bench when i need them.

actually the top is 1/8 inch hardboard. The wood trim sits flush with the hardboard and since the hardboard is doublesided when one side is nice and mangled you can flip it over and you have a nice new work surface. Someone has made a comment about water rings when i first made it so i got paranoid and coated the whole top with a coat of wax. Needles to say nothing sticks or stains it.
