About This Build

Every project gets easier once you have a surface that goes where you need it — and stays put when you get there. This bench gives you a flat, solid work area at standing height and a full shelf underneath for everything currently stacked in the corner. A comparable solid-wood bench runs $350 and up at the store. Build this one for around $125.

No table saw, no experience, no guesswork. If you can drive a screw and run a circular saw along a straightedge, you can build this.

Specs:

Build time: one afternoon
Size: 72" long, 24" deep, 36" tall
Materials: one sheet of 3/4" plywood, six 8-foot 2x4s, two 6-foot 4x4s, and four 4" locking casters
Tools: drill, circular saw, clamped straightedge

Why Builders Love This

Rolls to wherever you're working, then locks rock-solid in place
Standing height, so you build without hunching over the work
A full-length shelf that clears tools off the floor
Solid 4x4 legs that soak up vibration when you sand, chisel, or run power tools
Two leg options, solid 4x4 posts or two 2x4s glued face-to-face, with pros and cons for both
Want it stationary? The plan shows how to build it without casters
No table saw, and no cut you haven't made before
