2x4 Workbench - A Great Size To Work With

Workbenches are the heart of a workshop. They take a lot of beating and so they need to be sturdy and capable of withstanding a lot of weight and abuse. A 2x4 model is basic and simple and you can easily build one for yourself. If you look online there are several different plans available free or for a very low price. Once you find one that you like you can even modify it a little to suit your specific needs. This way you can have a model of your choice and save some money at the same time. Some of these plans include a kit. A kit is a basic set of hardware that you will need for your building project. This way you do not have to run around collecting all the pieces separately.
 

You do not even have to stick to the 2x4 finished size. You can use planks of this size together and get a longer and wider workbench too. A great example of this is:

2x4 Basics Workbench Legs – This is a complete package that comes with 4 legs, 2 work clamps and 4 hooks. All the hardware is included. All you need to do is add 2x4s and plywood or particleboard to the Workbench Legs and you can have a strong and sturdy unit in any length or width up to 8 feet by 4 feet. The assembly is very simple and all you will need is a powered screwdriver and a saw. Each shelf can hold up to 1000 pounds.
 
One plan that is available online and worth noting is by Lewis Cobb. He has used this 2x4 bench in his workshop. However, the dimensions can be changed to make a sturdy stool stand as well. 4 deck screws are fastened at the end of each 2x4 piece making it very strong.

2x4 Basics AnySize Workbench Kit, Model# 90164 – This kit comes with everything you will need to build a 36”H workbench out of 2x4 frames and plywood tops. The only thing you will have to buy is the lumber which will be secured on to the heavy gauge rust and solvent resistant resin legs. It can hold up to 1000 pounds. It comes with high customer satisfaction ratings and includes resin legs, 6 pk shelflinks, 2 work holders, 4 hooks and hardware. There are detailed instructions for your convenience.

Most important is determining what size works for you and how much space you have. The 2x4 lumber is easily available in stores like Home Depot and once you have a plan and the hardware you are ready to undertake your project.

Backless Garden Benches
