So I was little bit bored this evening. So I thought I might have a play with SketchUP. This is a great program once I got the hang of the controls..I am used to AutoCAD 2000.
Anyway, I designed my cheap n easy workbench in SketchUP. the materials list is as follows.
- 2 sheets of 18 MDF (2400x1200x18) approx 40bux/sheet = 80bux
-10 Lengths of Merch Pine (2400x70x35) approx 3bux/length = 30bux
- Approximately 120 screws, I dunno? 10bux?
- Some Glue
- And some sealer for the MDF top and shelf (free, find something in the shed.)
All up about 120bux.
I decided to use nothing but halving/housing joints, because there easy and they locate the timbers nicely when assembling. You wont need any fancy tools, a circular saw, a drill/driver and maybe a hammer and chisel and thats it.
I am going to machine all the timbers down to 69x34 just for consistancy's sake...merch really is bad sometimes.
Make the 4 leg/cross brace sections first, screw the rails on, and then slide the shelf in, pop the top on and wham bam! ya done :U
Here is a pic. enjoy!
