Don’t Waste Money on a Pre-Fabricated Workbench – Build Your Own Instead

By Mark J. Donovan




A workbench is the essential element for the garage, basement or workshop for all DIY homeowners. It is where assembly, construction, sanding, and painting activities frequently occur. It’s also where materials are often stored until the work actually begins. Building your own workbench is inexpensive and easy to do.

Moreover, unless you’re willing to spend a fortune on a high end pre-manufactured workbench, your own homebuilt workbench will be stronger than any pre-fab’d workbench you buy. The typical DIY homeowner can build a workbench in just a few hours.

Building a workbench is also easy to do in terms of tools and carpentry skills. You can build a workbench with simply a saw, square, measuring tape, wrench, hammer and a drill. Materials required for building a workbench typically include, a few 2x4s, one ¾ inch plywood sheet and a handful of carriage bolts.

Buying a set of workbench plans also can save you time in not having to figure out the appropriate dimensions of your bench, such as length, width, and height of the workbench. In my “Build Your Own Workbench” ebook, for example, I include drawings with all dimensional information for building a 4’x2’ workbench with a shelf. In addition, the ebook also provides a materials list, and easy to read instructions on how to build a workbench, along with numerous instructional pictures. You can easily modify the plans to increase the length or depth of the workbench to suit your own specific needs.

In addition, you can choose to add accessories to your workbench such as including a peg board behind it for hanging tools and materials, or installing a vice on it.
