I’m about to build a simple stationary workbench in the corner of my garage. Basically, I’m building the one in the link below, as it fits my current storage needs and plan (with the additon of a second lower shelf)…and only 20” deep (cars have to fit)
Here’s my question: I’m going to use cheap lumber from Home Depot…should I bother milling it down, or just get the straightest pieces possible and put it together?
This is placer holder until we buy a new house in 3 years…I have a work bench on casters that will create an “L” and a 3/4” piece of plywood and saw horses I breakout when I need a bigger space in the middle of the garage when the cars do not need to be parked inside.
Anything I should consider before I pick up lumber and do this? Note: I can’t see being happy putting it together with a nailer as in the video, so I’ll use cabinet screws. I’m also going to use two layers of 3/4” plywood for the top.
