Decided to tackle the task of building a new workbench. My old one was put together quickly and very simple when I bought a rubbermaide shed to give me a little bench to fix stuff on. As you can see it's too small, doesn't really have a top and definitely needs replacing. Since I'm low on money and have a right budget I can't make a fancy all maple bench or anything like that. So, I'm using construction wood from lowes. I'm framing it all out using 2x4's and still thinking about the top. I'll probably make that decision at Home Depot today. The dimensions are going to be 72" long, 24" deep, and 36" tall. I do plan to sand it all to keep the splinters out of my hands. I'm also going to make a shelf underneath the top to store tools. The way I'm framing it on top I'm leaving an option to add on a drawer or two later once I learn a little more about how to do that lol. Here's a pic of the old bench and pics of where I'm at so far and I'll post pics as I progress.
