Workbench project: Completed

[derf]

So I went out last week and bought enough wood to build myself a new workbench for my garage. I built it based on a set of free plans I found here. I also modified the plans slightly to make it portable, shortened the legs and added wheels.




I still haven't finished the face vice, or attached the top, but it's 99% done. I think I'm going to add another set of 2x4's under the table top to raise it up just a hair more, eventually I also want to add some storage shelves underneath between the support legs, but thats a project for another day.

Anyway, I rolled it outside to clean my garage floor (from all the sawdust), and took some better pictures of it.











Total cost, $175. It would have been much cheaper, but the 225 lb wheels and the vices both cost an arm and a leg

You can always change your name to Matt, the quadriplegic woodworker.

The wheels are a good idea, however...you may find that even in locked mode, they'll tend to skid around under force, like when you're beating the sideways living shit out of something.

I was a roadie, trust me on this one.

But, now that you have a workbench, you can built some nifty rectangular boxes that will accommodate both wheels on each end, (that's a total of two, count 'em, two boxes) and cover the bottoms of them with some grippy shit, and presto- you have achieved relative frictional solidity.

There are some pedal operated lifting pads I can get if it becomes a problem.
