I forgot to mention that you would have to include a large bottle of glue in the budget for a workbench .

Very Cheap Large Section Pine

Matt
Now I'm seeing things. I am pleased I have only just taken the first sip of the evenings refreshment otherwise I might have concluded I needed some help.
Those Steely leged sawhorses were an attempt several years back at making up some folding saw horses. I will be making some saw horses up as Forum member has introduced me to a very interesting design, but it is for him to reveal if he wishes. I don't want to steal anybody's thunder.

Paul,
I must apologise I had no idea I was looking at your fine engineering skills there.
I’m truly sorry, and will spent the remainder of the evening punishing myself on heavy liquids.
Holding my head in shame, but not quite over a bucket yet.[emoji853][emoji853]
Cheers Matt,

Thanks for the prompt Paul - I noted your enthusiasm, and it made me realise, especially given that this chap only has a single video, that many folk may not have run across these before - I think it was pure chance I found them at all.
I've posted a thread in the Woodworking General section to share this with everyone else in case these are of interest to others
Interesting Sawhorse plans

You are absolutely on the money with the glue. The other costs are associated with the choice of vice, but these can be added later. Just on vices and the more recent popularity of the leg vice commonly found on the Roubo style bench, another single short length would make up this part. Screw mechanisms can be larger diameter threaded rod (makes for slow operation compared to the square or ACME threads) or something made from the scaffolding screw jacks.
I am in the process of making something up in this vein, but it is not at the right stage to post yet.

I have a shoulder vise screw and a tailvise screw I bought 10 years ago for about $25 - 30 each so the glue will remain the most expensive single purchase component for the whole bench.
I bought all the bolts. nuts and washers in a single purchase and even they do not come up to the price of the glue.
If you count tool purchases made primarily for the bench construction, (or at least justified the expenditure as being for the workbench build) then the set of 10 Colt Forstner bits would be the most expensive but that was a capital investment in tools and is not actually an integral part of the workbench and will be used for a lot of other projects.I got sick of sitting around doing nothing - so I took up meditation.

I wish I was in QLD or even close by, I'd build a workbench with it in a heartbeat. But at the moment, living in Sydney, I'll be sourcing from green and red shed...

Yes Paul, a dozen sticks would do nicely. My apologies for the delayed response.

I'm in Brisbane and I want to make my first woodworking work bench with a well and dog holes. Maybe a dead man. I have one quick release vise waiting for a home.
I'd like a tail vise too.
I just found this thread but I don't have a ute. Pick up from Bevan' s workshop would be easy for me coz I could hire a trailer or possibly even make a few car trips.
I'm not sure how many to request because I haven't done a design yet.
Can I just take your recommendation and go with that?

Saw this late this evening. probably most styles of bench use similar quantities of timber, but send me a PM and we can take it from there.
