For about 10 years I have been building a style of workbench for friends.
 | It has a 24 square foot main work surface that is 8 feet wide and can support hundreds
of pounds. |
| It has four shelves and, including the work surface, has 64 square feet of space. It
occupies 28 square feet of floor. |
| The bench's biggest feature is that it can be broken down into 10 pieces in about 20
minutes and transported in a small station wagon. |
| When assembled the bench is as rigid as a solid wood cube. |
| The bench costs about $110 in materials, electrical parts not included. |
| The bench may be constructed by unskilled labor in about 20 hours. |
|
|
| Construction requires a couple of handheld
drills, a circular saw, several (6 or more) C clamps between 6" and 12" wide, a
few drill bits, a square, a level, a pencil, 7' or longer measuring tape. (ear protection
recommended) |
