Ultimate Workbench

I'm building myself an "Ulitmate Workbench" that will house all of my tools and make things a lot easier around the shop!

My goal for the Ultimate Workbench was to have

  • Table Saw and Outfeed
  • Chop Saw Well
  • Router Table
  • Storage

I designed two senarios in Sketchup - one with all MDF and one with 2X4 frame - I went with the 2X4 frame because I thought it would be cheaper, easier to build, and sturdier (in my opinion).

For the router table I think I'm going to build one of these Router Table Lift - mainly because I think it's cool with the wooden gears and I can put my CNC to work :)

For the well I want to leave that as flexable as possible for any future tools I might buy, maybe a sanding downdraft area, etc - so I'm going to build that with adjustable shelves i think

I'm sure - as all my projects go - that this will be evolving and I'll post changes to the design to the Sketchup model and here

Lastly - you can find the sketchup plans in my downloads section - where I'll be posting up more and more stuff hopefully
