God, you must have a photograph of me.
I do have lots of shirts with alligators on them, and I own 2 Volvo's
(mine and my wife's). I also own a classic 30 y/o Mercedes SL, but
that's just for fun.
I don't use my tools often but I do in fact use them.
The last time I looked (today in the shower) I do in fact have a
scrotum and I am confident there are 2 testicles in that scrotum. (my
wife might know the answer to that question better then I do)
So, I will, using my God given testosterone (providing I do have
testicles), take out the shiny tools that don't get enough use, drive
my S60 AWD Volvo down to the lumber yard and pick up the wood, screws
and other stuff I need, and build myself a workbench.

Thanks for good advice.

One last question --- Should I use 4x4's for the legs or will 2x4's
be just as good. (Two 2x4's for each leg at 90 degrees)

I would like to purchase a workbench for my garage.
I have a 6 foot space that I will use.


Why do you want a workbench? to tinker and fix things? Why not build one
that you like and have it the way you want it? The only people I know that
buy, rather than build have little alligators on their shirts and tools hat
have never been used. If you want to fit that image, load up the Volvo and
head to the store.

OTOH, if you are a guy with a real scrotum, real tools, and not afraid to
use them, Buy a few 2 x 4's, sheet of 3/4" plywood, and get some use from
the tools you want to hang. You may also want to see if they have any
damaged flush doors for sale cheap. They can make good bench top.
