Default Building a small workbench - Advice needed

Hi everyone,

I am planning to build a small workbench for my shop. The shop is only
8' x10', so space is at a minimum. I usually just build small boxes for
magician's props - usually under 2'x2', so I don't need much space.

I'm thinking a 2'x4' bench top would work well, but I am concerned the
bench will be too light to work well. I like to dimension my own wood
with hand planes, so I would like the bench to be pretty stable. It
doesn't need a lot of accessories - just one vise on the front and a
sliding stop on both ends.

Can anyone forsee any issues I may run into with a small workbench or
does anyone have any advice concerning the weight issue?

Thanks,
Richard
