A Brute of a Bench, on a Budget

Framing lumber, turnbuckles, bolts, and bags of sand make this rock-solid workbench quick to make and easy to move.

Ideal for those who are watching their budgets, this workbench has a classic design that will serve your woodshop for years. It's made using widely available hardware, construction lumber, and a couple of sandbags. The legs and top are joined with stub tenons and turnbuckles that lock onto steel pins. This construction makes for a very stable bench that can be easily disassembled for moving. But you'll want to make this bench even if you don't ever plan to move it.
