WOW! I can't believe it! I started, and finished my workbench in under 8 hours!
I didn't have to go buy more lumber, since I forgot I had another 2X4 in the shed, and I had a 48X96 sheet of 1/2" plywood leaning against the wall in the garage.
I have even jumped up on the table to insure how sturdy it is!
I have even used it to completely DIS-assemble my JGRO router. I needed to take it apart to use super glue on the threads of the adjustmet blocks, but until now i have not had the room I needed to take it apart. it was INCREDIBLE having that much room to work with!
I am amazed that I have been afraid of building my own workbench for years. I was always afraid of it not being sturdy enough, or it being yet another project I would not finish. This was one very simple, easy project that was able to be easily completed in a single day. I recommend it to anyone who needs more space!
I will atach some more pics of the bench. You will see I added to addition cross members under the table. Since my bench is 96" long, I added one at 32" and one at 64".
Any comments and/or questions are welcome.

p.s.. if you look at my old workbench in the background, you will see the pieces of my JGRO router where I have disassembled it *TEMPORARILY*
We should get our bonus in March, so i can buy Mach3, and THEN I will be ready to go... assuming the super glue works for the adjustment blocks.. otherwise, i am considering purchasing some CNC made.. |
