Garage Workbench
I bought the wood (lowes calls it white wood.. so 'technical' they are)
today for my workbench. I only have a camry, so I had to get it broken down for me. I had the 2x4's cut in half for the legs and I'll further knock them down to about 42 inches as I want a 43 inch finished level (like the fancy, smanzy one at sears).. I got 5 (2x4's) of those and 5 -1x2x8's as well as a couple of 1x1x8's and 2- 1x12x8 for the top. I guess I'll just have to knudge them together as best I could (withe the 1x1's underneath) as I don't have a planer to butt them up to be glued. I want a 24 inch work surface. With the screws and all I'm at about 50 bucks. Could have done better if I had a truck. Another question is -should I stain the work bench. I guess it can't hurt? Or is there a better finish for a shop bench...? I might as well do the individual pieces before I slap it together (?).. TANKS Charles |

I mentioned all this crap I bought because I was amazed I got it all in
my car. When I was walking around with a dolly full of stuff I needed, I was thinking ...no way.. |
