Garage Workbench

Basically, my garage needed a work bench that I could work on and store some tools of mine instead of using a shelf. As I have said in my other instructables, I am by no means a carpenter or expert. There are lots of different ways to build this. These are the steps that I took to build mine. What you see pictured is the before and after

Supplies

• 2x4s
• Plywood
• Nails
• Hammer
• Screws
• Drill
• Miter Saw
• Table Saw
• Level

Step 1: Building Frame

• I had previously remove a shelf in the garage that was large and not needed, however I left the 2x4s attached to the wall just in case. I used these as main supports for my work bench and built around this.
• Using the 2x4s I measured the length that I would need and cut accordingly.
• Screwed in 3 screws to each joint while ensuring that it was levelled.
• I continue this approach and added additional supports and created the frame
• For some of the joints, I used a hammer and nails to get the joints attached to the back support

Step 2: Adding Top

• For this step I used a sheet of plywood, and laid it across the top and made markings on how big I would need to cut it.
• Due to the size of the plywood sheet that I was using and the size of the bench, I had to make 2 cuts to fit it properly
• Used screws to hold it down to the beams
• After making the frame and adding the plywood sheets, I realized that I would need to add a middle leg to help strengthen in

Step 3: Add Upper Hanging Shelf

• Once I added the additional support, It was time to add another 2x4 overhead. This would allow me to add/hang various tools from (screw drivers, hammer, drill, etc
