Hey guys,
I have a solid timber door & some MGP10 pine and want to have a crack at building a cheap but serviceable workbench.
The idea (see my dodgy sketch) is to use materials that I already have or can can easily (and cheaply) purchase. I will likely supplement the top with some thick plywood. Once ply is securely attached to the door I'll cut out the rebate & insert the pine with the dogs & frame with 4 pieces of pine also.
The legs will be 2 (or 3) laminated pine with m & t joinery (possibly with draw bore) and I'll add a storage shelf underneath with pallet pine that I have with ship laps (i think that what it's called).
Does anybody see any problems with this design or have any advice before I emabrk on this build ? Appreciate any input.
The thing to consider is I don't have a planer or thicknesser so any stock preperation will be predominantly by hand (i have some handheld power tools). If I had these machines I would build a solid benchtop but I don't see a problem with a solid dood/ply/pine benchtop design. Also my woodworking skills are somewhat limited & I intend to go slowly & carefully and learn on the job.
Look forward to any advice/hints etc.
Thanks, Scott
