I need a small workbench in my basement where I can do hand tool stuff in the wintertime.
What do you think about the leg design on this bench? It looks pretty good to me
to build it as part of the top, but I thought I would check with the experts.
I think I'll make the two side A-Frames with 2X4s, and then make the butcher block
for the inside (5' X 3') and glue (and maybe bolt) the three parts together.
I don't see the point of all the screws, but maybe I'm missing something.
Thanks.




There are quite a few plans available for work-benches -
here's just one example.

I have seen a couple like this one below sell fairly cheap at auction
sales :

Often you can look at some examples and plans and then modify it
for your needs and budget and materials at-hand.
