Pierre -
Sort of, I used the Kreg Jig 2x4 Workbench plan to create the base. http://www.kregtool.com/images/icons/2x4_bench.pdf (Seen here)

I then changed some of the dimensions.

2x4 Cut List

2 - 72" Long (Supports for the Peg Board and Light)

2-28" Long (Front Leg Supports, 6" shorter than original to compensate for the caster Wheels

4- 37" Long (Side Braces, same as original plan)

4-19.5" Long (End Braces, same as original plan)

MDF Panels: (Grab 3 2'x4' pre-cut panels from your local box store - about $9.00 a piece)

1 - 22.5" x 44" to make a shelf (My suggestion would be to rip the 2' x 4' Sheet to 22.5" first, in order that you have a 1.5" backing to add to the back, to help hold the surge strip)

2- 24"x48" Top Panels - (These get a 2"x4" slots cut into them 2" from each end to butt it up to the back legs and make for a clean look on the back.) (I wish I had taken pictures prior to cutting this, but found this site after the fact)

Peg Board - 4'x8'x1/4" sheet - This piece will be cut down to 44" x 42" to screw to the back of the back legs.

Items needed: 

7 - 2"x4"x84" boards

3 - MDF Panels 2'x4'

100 - 1 1/4" Coarse Self Tap Square Head Screws

50 - 2 1/2" Blue Coat Self Tap Square Head Screws

50 - 1 1/4" Wood Screws - Torx Heads are always easier.

4 - 6 in Caster Wheels (Suggest: 2 Locking for the front)

25 - 1 1/4" x5/16" Lag Screws

2 - Shelf Brackets

1 - 48" Shop Light

2 - T8 48" bulbs

1 - Surge Protector

As needed - Peg Hooks (Menard's, Wal-Mart, Lowe's sells these for reasonable prices)

I have this "Plan" written out with Step by Step instructions for my Kreg Jig, if you would like them I would have no problem with sending them to you. My plan was to add them to my blog but haven't had time yet.

Yes, you are right, Rosemarie. I already have my next project for tonight. Can't wait to get started and working this evening. Hopefully I will have pictures up tonight on the first stages.

Very nicely done.  It amazes me how many things we can build with one simple box frame... And  Kreg jig of course.
