Small work bench.......

Hi everyone,
I have been working on the small work bench for the basement shop.
It’s only 4 feet long, and made of scrap wood that I had around.
Some of it was my Father’s project that he built back in the 1980’s .
He’s name and date are on the bottom shelf in side.

You will get a lot of use from it.

A huge workbench would be nice, but a small one is still a thousand times better than no workbench. The workbench in my woodworking shop is a 4' bench too, and I love it. It gets used all the time when I'm in the shop.
I recommend putting a woodworking vise on it. You will use a vise every time you get near the bench.

I recommend putting a hardboard sheet on the top. It is then replaceable as it gets 'worn'.
