Workbench

I've had a workbench that I made about 8 years ago. It was truly a basic workbench. Four legs and a top. What I truly want in my shop is a bunch of cabinets with hard counter tops. Something out of a wood magazine cover shot. Alas, I don't have (nor I do really want to spend) the money for something that grandiose. So I've decided to build a new workbench.

For the new bench I wanted something SOLID, and affordable (no sjoberg tabletops here), and something I could actually build in a weekend or two. I found a pretty good, and affordable workbench design at amazon titled: Basic Workbench and 6 Ways to Beef it Up: Downloadable Woodworking Plan. Amazon has a pretty nice feature that allows you to download plans directly to your computer. Another nice thing about this plan is it includes six really nice upgrades to the bench and has complete plans for it. For now I'll only be building the bench, but I really the like the drawers and cabinet's that they show. If I build those I'll blog about them later.
