AJ Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 post some pictures of your garage work benches. i'll be building mine in the next few days and don't know if i want to attach it to the wall or not. also what would you have done diffenent if you had to do it all over. i'm going to build mine out of 2x4's and i'm not sure if i want 2x12's for the top or 3/4" plywood with more support for a vise.

LJ Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Not gonna take pics as it's covered in junk right now, but buy the Sportsman's guide kit. http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/workbench-legs-kit.aspx?a=463545 I left the bottom open and put my own shelves in instead of those deep ones. Including the kit and shipping I spent like $70 total. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
