In this video I show you how to make a “standard” workbench. This will be my main workbench in my garage. I will make most of my projects on this workbench so I wanted it to be sturdy and practical. The top measures 48″W x 84″L. The base measures 41″W x 68″L. The height of the bench is 36-3/4″.

hi i am from CA. it is nice see from the same state
kids make the best help
Your doing a real great job
I built my main work bench pretty similar as yours….a few differences in the jointery and how I did the top. For the joinery I used lap joints which is much stronger than butting them up… and for the top I put the plastic laminate (I used hardboard) on first then trimmed out the plywood edges with Poplar….I put the trim pieces on just proud of the hardboard, then use a flush trim bit to flush out. So basically the hardboard sits within the Poplar trim
Also, I did not glue the hardboard down, this way when it gets old I can easily replace it with a new piece.
Btw, this is a temporary workbench, just so I can get started building stuff for the house
