Hi James,
Thanks for the info! Great idea about splitting the seat but I won't actually be using the bench for seating (strangely enough, lol) It's just that I don't have a workshop and I think my husband will be happier with my growing tool collection if it is elegantly stored in a "bench" in the house rather than in a large "toolbox".
Yes, those are the correct dimensions and I would welcome the plans, thank you!

Hello Adriayn!
There are a few projects that you could modify to make a nice sturdy box for your tools. One would be the Kreg Potting Bench (using 2x4's) where you could make shorter to sit on, add slats to the back and screw in some 1/2" plywood to create sides, back and front. Use 3/4" plywood for the bottom and seat (top), where the seat would have the hinge. This should accommodate your tools very well.
One thing you could do is split the seat in half and while you sitting on one half you could lift the other half to have instant access to your tools without having to stand up.
If you like I could draw it up in SketchUp and provide you with a plan drawing. Are your dimensions 36L x 18W x 24H?
James :)
I'm suggesting you a to build a shed. Many woodworkers used shed as their workplace and if you plan to build a shed, the important things you should take note are the floor, the ramp, a good airflow and many more. Try to build a shed at first. A few info at http://shedplan-woodworkingguide.blogspot.com/2011/12/how-to-build-...
David, I believe its the issue is the husband and not the "old lady". Adriayn seems to be female.
Thanks for the replies (which are both helpful and funny!) and the great-looking bench. And, I am indeed female :-) Why don't they have a girl Kreg avatar?
You could always edit the Kreg avatar it to have a ponytail LOL.

LOL mission accomplished but no ponytail this time
Where did you find Avatars in this software? I missed that section on signup. About half the folks here have that generic "blank face." And where's the smilies?

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…

Several months ago, I purchased the Kreg K4MS so that I could build the Lego Table as outlined on the companion "buildsomething" web site which exclusively uses pocket hole construction. I have considerable experience with conventional…
