The Krypt Keeper Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I am slowly working on my basement to turn it into my little man room.. I got shelves to store all my oil, spray cans ect. But could really use a work bench to help work on stuff. I don't see spending the money on these plastic and tin foil ones. Would like to build one that I can attach a vise, and other little stuff to help me for doing my own tire changes and balancing. Anyone got some pics of their work stations or maybe some plans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vetteman Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 i dont have any pix of minebut its just a home made wooden one. 2x12s i think, it was in the garage when i bought the house. i just moved it out when i demo'd the old garage and moved it into the new one. craftsman has some nice ones that come on sale now and then and have drawers and pegboards and shit if you dont want to build yourself. a lot of guys build a frame of some sort and go to Menards HomeDepot or Lowes and pick up a cheap countertop for the top. if you ask in the millwork dept they usually have damaged or returned tops super cheap. not sure where to go for plans but i bet google does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXTi Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I've had some home made ones over the years, but I went with steel ones from Lowes this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Krypt Keeper Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 Are the steel ones stable? I don't want something that wobbles and can't hold more than 50lbs without thinking its going to calapse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bajjer9 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I went with a work bench kit from 2 X 4 Basics Workbench legs Add your own wood kinda deal...I havent gotten the whole thing together but it comes with 4 legs which seem very strong and sturdy even if they are some sort of plastic, and an additional shelving section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tvking Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 If you fasten the steel ones to the wall they are pretty solid. That bench looks awesome David. My disaster zone.

Crusty Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I used a pallet rack frame, for light warehousing, then added my top and sides with wood. Its a tad messy in the shot, but if you zoom in you can see the rack/frame underneath Blue/Yellow One thing I found to be a great help was the fused power bar at the front of the bench [attachmentid=3347] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuffguyF4i Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Most of the steel frame ones you can anchor to the floor. You can plop a wood top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
