Added a few little touches. Brew up some really strong black tea use a lot of bags and boil it till it's really undrinkably dark. Thanks for sharing your great skills with us and I really appreciate your work towards the workbench and it looks really good.

Before hanging the cabinets, be sure to mark where the studs are behind the wall. Do this for every cabinet box you may need to add another cleat if your cabinets stretch over 8 ft. When the paint was dry, I attached the doors with the hinges and I used my Kreg Cabinet Hardware Jig to attach the pulls to the doors.

You will also need a Kreg Jig Face Clamp! Now, just cut the shelves to size and slide them in using the shelf pins! That was it! I love my new DIY Cabinets! I gave my workbench top a fresh coat of paint and installed a new Wall Control Pegboard — this thing is the bomb!!! I am going to do something else on my floors and will update you soon on my solution!

What kind of shelf pins did you use? Flat ones? Or did you cut a groove underneath each cabinet shelf to sit down on the shelf pin? I can align it an inch and a half from the front or use the corner guide and do an inch. So I have put everything on hold while I make some much needed organizational improvements to my work space. If I use it a lot, I need to make it easy to get to and easy to put away.

This may sound obvious, but I find that things like my angle grinder, which I typically keep in the factory case on a shelf above my workbench, is seemingly easy to get too but once I get it out the case and all the discs are left sitting on some horizontal surface, usually my work bench, taking up valuable work space until I am done with my project.

Vertical storage is the only effective way to keep your benches clear. This one I think is key. Stacking things on flat surfaces is a waste of work space and invites the addition of more crap. It also makes it harder to get at things. Ideally things should be stored on a wall or shelf 1 item deep and 1 item tall. If you have to stack things, you need more shelves.

Organize like things together. This one also sounds obvious, but things like boxes of bolts, screws and nails seem to get strewn around my work benches to no end. I have tackled this by buying one of the Harbor Freight rolling hardware carts. I have also bought some cheap tool boxes to store things like electrical parts and pieces. I have one box devoted to things like breakers, wire crimps, switches, cable ends, plugs, etc.

I have done the same for plumbing parts and fittings. I have been lax in this and it has shown. Before I started cleaning, I had 3 benches full of crap now only 2 are full of crap and I hope to have that down to 1 before the end of the week. Brush the tea on and let it dry, then apply the iron acetate solution. This is a great stain for blending repaired spots into a fence - load a garden sprayer with iron acetate and water and spray the new wood.

Hillary not verified. I used organic tea because it was what I had on hand and let it steep for a few hours. Worked like a charm! I would type how much I love this table, but I'm feeling faint because my heart is pitter-pattering! Ok, I am getting addicted to building things and these plans aren't helping! This is great!

Let me know if you have any other questions. Enjoy your build! Hi Ernie, Happy to hear you love the bench. They are not available in a PDF but I am happy to make them for you. Would you want the pictures included? If so just plans without the pictures. Hi Frank, Thanks for your question and your kind compliment.

For example in my plan I only had three cross supports. You may want to add an additional cross support to have a total of four to make up for the extra length refer to step one in the tutorial. Those wheels hold lbs each so I think the four wheels for the added weight and length would be sufficient.

Hope that helps. Wow great write up! I saw other posts but it lacked the detailed instructions that you have.

You mentioned a PDF version. Would you mind sharing it? Hi Dan, Thank you so much! I have emailed the printable plans to you. Hi Mark, Excited to hear you will be building the workbench. Let me know if you need anything else. I wish I got this gorgeous workbench for my garage at once. I also visited another post for getting ideas about 10 best garage workbench and guess what? I got amazed again and very much thanks for the article with all necessary steps….

Hello and thanks for the plans. Table turned out great. Added a few little touches. Would like to share my pictures. Hi Jose, Thats great to hear you got the workbench done. I am not sure if you can attach pictures in the comments you can try but you can email them to me at tiffany dreamdesigndiy.

Awesome table. How tall is your table from floor to top? Thank you! Hi Christian, Thanks for your question. However I also wanted the workbench to double as an outfeed for my table saw so I considered that in my design as well.

This is an awesome design and i am almost done making it! The reason is that i can use that couple inches to clamp things down and the clamps can get a proper hold. Any thoughts? Or problem that i am not seeing in having a bigger top? Hi Raja, I think that is a great idea. I am able to clamp items to the top. Thanks for your questions. Excellent…many thanks for the response! Since you spent a ton of time perfecting this I and people like me are able to do this in a matter of hours.

This turned out to be a weekend job and I am a beginner learning as i go!! I am 6 feet myself and i think thats perfect to use it as a workbench. Raja, I had someone mention they also wanted to increase the height. This is what is so great about DIY…customizing it to fit your needs. Glad you are able to make it your own. Feel free to email me pics when you are done. I would love to see the finished product — tiffany dreamdesigndiy.

Beautiful project. Is there any way to get the plans and cut sheets? I want to use the full sheet of MDF leaving a couple inches around the perimeter for clamping. That way it will be nice and stable when in use.

Hi David, Thanks for your kind comments! I have emailed the plans to you. I have had others adjust the size of the top to allow for more space for clamping and this is a great idea. The brakes on my casters work great and the size of the casters are perfect for the bench as I am able to move the workbench around the garage with ease.

Have fun building and email me pics when you are done would love to see them! After measuring my workbench table again it looks like the overall height of the table is closer to 34 inches I updated the post.

I hope that helps clear up any confusion. Let me know if I can help further. Great plans and build! I did a second shelf like you, but also cut out a section of the workbench top so I could incorporate my router table.

Built to exact height of my table saw to act as an outfeed table. And finally, used flipdown casters for additional sturdiness when working but still able to be mobile when needed. Hi Stephen, Thanks so much for sharing. Your workbench sounds awesome and I am so happy you were able to customize it for yourself and your needs. I would love to see your pics. If you would like you can send them to tiffany dreamdesigndiy.

Hey Tiffany, Amazing post! So many good tips and information. Thanks for sharing your great skills with us and I really appreciate your work towards the workbench and it looks really good. Hope to learn some more DIY ideas from your side.

Keep up the good work! Hi Ron, Thanks for your question. I used a total of four screws to attach the legs at each corner. Which is two screws in each 2 x 4 to attach it to the frames. Hopefully that all makes sense. Just finished my bench. Stronger in the end. Awesome Steve, Thanks for sharing!

So happy that you customized it to work for you. I hope you enjoy many years of doing projects on it! Hats off to you for this functional work of art! Thank you thank you thank you! What an amazing comment from someone in your industry. That means so much to me!

My dad has taught me a lot about DIY. Something special that we share. I am going to review it in detail and possibly make some workbenches for my makerspace in Paris! Keep up the great work! Hi there! Hi Michael. Thanks for your question.

Sorry for any confusion. I moved into a new location and need a work bench. The builder left a pile of lumber, i I used it and your concept for the basis of the bench. I extended the middle shelf the length of the bench and used two drawer slides so it could be pulled out.

For casters I disassembled a moving dolly. Except for the slides and the screw it cost nothing and as a plus most of the scrap lumber is gone. Awesome Stu! Thanks for sharing. I love the idea about the drawer slides! I hope you enjoy your new workbench!
