Thread: Built your own workbench?

I just built one.

The best feature I incorporated into it is a cable slot : In the picture below you can see there's a gap between the backboard and the wall .. and all of that cable mess that normally creates mayhem now just hangs neatly behind the bench

I've mounted some MDF Boards in behind the bench and these now have 3 powerbricks permanently mounted to them. 2 are visible in this (blurry, sorry) shot:


The only other piece of advice I can offer, having built workbenches out of both 2x4 (50x100 in new money) and 2x6 (50x150) is go with the bigger more solid timber. ... it gives a more solid work surface.

the bench I built at our old place is made out of 2x4 and its wobbly as by comparison with the new beast
