I was cleaning up my "Pictures" folders and came across these of the completed workbench - at least until I get another idea, maybe a different top? Easy enough to do as it's just screwed on from the bottom.
I made a cabinet to go in the opening on both sides of the lower section. The depth of the drawers was limited by the distance back to the scissor jack, but it gives me 6 drawers deep enough to hold all the little odds and ends that collect around the bench - tapes, pencils, utility knives, drill bits, etc. and has turned out to be very handy. Of course, it would be better if the bench was bigger but that's all the space I have.
The cabinet boxes and drawer fronts are Sande plywood from HD, the drawer parts are 1/2" luan plywood. I did go ahead and glue 3/16" oak strips on the edges of the drawers to protects them from dings and me from splinters.
