$40.00 and Change for a Workbench Made with Opa's Tools
Thursday, November 16, 2006
Your supplies | Your cost:10) 96'' 2x4s | $19.60
1) strange long piece of plywood from the "cull" bin at homo-depot | $0.51 but the lady didn't charge us.
2) more strange things from the cull bin | $1.70 but the lady didn't charge us.
1) piece of peg board | $9.95
1) package of pegboard thingies | $1.99
1) 5/8" plywood for workbench top | $8.99
1 ea.) 3/4" 2 1/2" 3" coarse thread drywall screws | ~$4.00 a box
1) cat to get in the way | immeasurably annoying.
1) beautiful wife to help you measure | priceless.
A few hours later, and with a sore wrist from drilling, you have a really sturdy workbench that was your wife's idea (only if your wife is as cool as mine). There is a kit you can purchase from Home Despot for $60.00 that has 1/3 the space and neat things that this $40.00 homemade one has.
Interested in building your own workbench? This workbench is open source. View the progress, start to finish here.

I really like how you point out the tools if you click on the photo in the post. How do you have time for this?
