Construction Lumber Workbench

Construction Lumber Workbench

I like the plans for the most part.. The cut list is a little hard to follow what you are cutting for so maybe follow up the abc labeling on the parts in the subsequent pages. Also I 'm modifying the plans quit a bit. The size dimensions and the top construction is very different so some reference what might need to be done if for instance if one used MDF for the top or plywood for the legs. That is if you ever considered it. Like your videos.

There was not much I learned from the pdf that I did not learn from the video. PDF could’ve been way more detailed, especially considering that this marketed towards beginners. There was no real/detailed mention of how to get the wood ripped and squared.

I will be moving to a new place in a couple weeks, and for the first time in my life I will have a dedicated workshop space. My first build will be this bench. I'll be making minor adjustments--I want a couple shelves and a solid vertical backer behind them, so I won't need the long diagonal support on the back--but the benchtop especially looks like the best idea I've seen anywhere. I was worried that 2x8s would make it more costly, but when I priced it out, they're about double the price of 2x4s at my local box store, so no reason not to do it right! Thanks to Scott for this great plan.

All good Scott.
