Simple construction. Sturdy design. Inexpensive to construct. This workbench is a standard workhorse. With measured drawings, a list of materials, and instructions, the plan makes it easy to build even for the stark beginner. Mainly 2x4 material. The top is solid as the surface it sits on, which makes it good for pounding and driving with hammers or mallets. Easily accepts many styles of vises and the design is so easy to understand that it is very expandable. As plans build: 60"L, 26"D.
