    Default I went and made another workbench!

    My latest project. Now I have 2 workbenches and funnily enough more space for organising my tools and work projects.

    It’s not perfect but I did learn a lot about the construction process and how to rectify some misalignment issues with the drawer sliders. What a pain they can be.

    100% plywood except for the top edge banding which is a ripped down 90x45 section of pine.

    What do you think?

    That's come up really nice. The time you have spent on the alignment has well and truly paid off.

    You sir are a bloody embarrassment to us mere mortals that try and aspire to making a simple box look square and not about to fall apart.
    Just give me the patience to create something as good as that .

    Good work. Very nicely laid out.
    I cut it twice and it's still to short.

    Nice. I’ve made some drop-in dividers for some of my drawers now, best idea ever, things stay in place, and go back to that place.

    Looks nice. Beats my 2x4s plus a sheet of ply bench!

    Yeah I think I’ll need to do this as well

    You need more tools! There is too much room in those drawers.
    Darn nice looking bench, a real asset to your workshop.
