“Build your first workbench. You do not need an interim saw horse bench. Buy some 2×4s, a solid core door and find a free plan at fine woodworking or any of the other mags. If you want to woodwork then woodwork… This is the kind of high-handed response that really irritates me. Who are you to say what the OP needs or doesn’t need? Giving an opinion is one thing, but to provide a smartass statement like “If you want to woodwork then woodwork…” is far from helpful, especially to a new member who may or may not have the skills, equipment, or desire to build their first workbench right this moment. OP, I would suggest that you do indeed look into building your own sawhorses if that’s the route you want to go. Using a full sheet of 4×8 plywood might be a bit unwieldy. You might consider having a sheet cut down to 2×8 and doubling it up for added ridgidity. If eight feet is too long for your space, you could also cut it down lengthwsie to something more manageable (say five or six feet). The HD store should be able to do that for you. -- John, BC, Canada |
