Summary: These 3D illustrations show you how my bench is assembled. This workbench can be used as a storage bench for your tools as well. Carpenters' work benches with these features work better than clumsy saw horses.

Assembly Illustrations

Once the pieces are cut for your bench, you should be able to easily assemble the entire bench in less than 15 minutes. I actually filmed the construction of one from start to finish for a TV segment. From the time I started measuring to cut the pieces out, to the time I turned off the router, only 23 minutes had passed!

Here are the different parts needed to build the bench.

Assemble two of the side braces. Remember to keep these up at least 4 inches or so from the bottom of the legs.

All side braces are installed.

Install the top and fasten it.

The bottom shelf fits into place.

The completed bench with the convenient hand hold cutout. I'll bet you build more than one bench too!
