Woodworking Projects Plans 4

The simplest plan to build your own workbench using 2x4 is sturdy workbench with only a top with one shelf. Some people may call it as a table. If you finish it well with vintage stain, it could be a great table for the garden. We had better forget the table because we are now discussing Woodworking Projects Plans. Let us get started.

The materials needed are:

• 9 pieces of 2”x4”x8’

• 1 piece of 24”x48”x1” laminated pine board.

• Wood filler

• Wood conditioner

• 2 ½” screws

You must prepare tools:

• 120 grit sandpaper

• Paint brush

• Miter saw

• Drill

• Measuring tape

• Pencil

• Countersink drill bit

If you read many Woodworking Projects Plans before, you will find it simple with only see materials and tools needed. You can even reduce the materials and tools needed for finishing if the appearance of the wood is not very important for you. You can get rid wood filler, wood conditioner, sand paper, and paint brush. Then, we can go with the details of the work:

• You start it by cutting the 2x4 into several lengths that are 8 pieces of 33”, 4 pieces of 3”, 2 pieces of 16”, 5 pieces of 40”, and 4 pieces of 12”.

• Take two of 33” and fast them with screws in 90 degrees angle vertically to create strong leg for the workbench. Do the same thing with three other pairs.

• Take the three inches lengths and secure each of them in the bottom of each leg as the cleat.

• Take the 16” length and use it as shelf support. Put them horizontally above the cleats of two legs. Secure them using screws. Do the same thing with another 16” length and the other two legs.

• Now you will add shelf, take three of 40” length, and lay them horizontally between two pair of legs and above shelf supports. Secure them with screws.

• Take the last two 40” and fasten them at the top of the legs as the stretchers.

• To add support for the top, you will need the 12”. The length is 4 inches shorter than shelf support because you already fasten stretcher at the top of the legs. You need even space at the top for each of them and secure them to the stretchers.

• The last thing is add laminate pine board as the top and fasten it. Your 2x4 workbench is ready. You can do finishing for better look.

The Woodworking Projects Plans above is quite sturdy for various jobs you will do on it. The plan is very simple and the look of the bench is simple as well. You can create different size of the workbench using different cut of 2x4 and different size of laminated pine board. You can also change the laminate pine board with another material if you need different strength and different cost.

There are various simple Woodworking Projects Plans using the same 2x4 but with different constructions and different top. You can find plans for fold-down workbench with a little more complicated process. The result will be space saving when you not use it.
