Just here for the free beer!
I am looking for some ideas when I build a new bench. I know some of you have some well thought out and slick benches. Lets see em!
I opted to add the drawers underneath. The plans for the bench that I posted showed none, but I have found that drawers are really important to get rid of clutter on top and provide long-term storage.Not being a carpenter I went this route. So far I've been happy with this.
I had room to set it away from the wall to access the pegboard and shelves from the backside also.
I opted to include the middle shelf on the bench and the shelving unit.
I did also add some additional boards diagonally to give additional support to the top work surface.

OK, you are on. Let me remove the newspapers that I have covering the butcher block top here and there. Then I'll take a few Pics, overhead hutch lights on and lights off. Santa Claus has been busy these past few days. I'll leave the chain sharpener fastened and in place.yes i would
Here it is. The first picture shows the bench with the lights off and the drawers closed:yes i would
Lumber Liquidators has it, both oak and hard maple. Often used for professional counter tops, you can get it in 24" widths and up to 8' long. That's what I bought and then framed using heavy aprons with corners connected with box joinery. That was tricky but but well worth the time, will last forever, and is unmatched in strength.Bowling alley flooring if you can find it.
