Can't wait :)
Cabinets, Benches, Outfeed Table ....... and more.
I have friends asking me what I plan on building with such an extensive workshop. I always tell them, Bird Houses. I then get that deer in the headlights look. LOL

Do I need a toe kick under my built-in work benches?
I like one. I know because I did not put one on my outfeed table. Often I pull up a stool to it and wish I had one. Most all of my larger flat surfaces I seem to find the cleanest one and pull up a stool when needed. They are nice but certainly not needed if it is overly difficult to alter or design, or if you already have one installed. I manage just fine without one, but am reminded every time I sit at the outfeed table that I wish I did.
Excellent. My only two cents are you seem to have a duplication of function. I would cut it to two work benches....one no wider than 24 inches so you can get at all sides of what you are working on, and one larger one as an assembly table and outfeed table. Don't know how you work, so take this with a grain of salt.
Good luck on the new Shop! Progress is always nice to see.

The workbench that I am working on will be 8' long and 24" wide. It will have a RAS mounted level with it and then an additional 6' x 24" bench.
Both benches will be permanently attached.

Build a recessed platform for your cabinets to act as the toe kick. Then you can just build rectangular boxes for the cabinets and not have to deal with cutting out the toe kick area...and it's FAR easier to level, too.
Picked up enough lumber today to build a couple work benches and the out building to hold the dust collector, air compressor and generator.
It will be a 6ft x 4ft shed with 8ft walls.
Very simple 24" on center floor and walls. Picked up a 36" Pre-Hung Steel Door.
Will put PT 4x4's 6" above the ground and 2ft into the ground, secured with Quickcrete
PT 2x4 frame for the floor with 3/4" PT Plywood floor.
I will post PIC's as I progress.
Looks like everything is moving along. I would really consider going 16" on center instead of 24". It wouldn't take much more lumber.
WHAT!!!! You want me to use 3 or 4 more 2x4's. Are you kidding me!!!!!!!
Just messing around......
The main workshop is 24 on center and it is plenty strong.
This shed will just be a housing for the DC, Compressor & Generator.
Won't see much traffic.
