Here is the concept that I settled on for a workbench. Plan was to use some Ash for the benchtop - material I had salvaged and stored for years waiting for a project. Plan was to use on hand 2x4's and 2x6's and keep the cost outlay to a minimum. Wanted to capitalize on lots of great discussions here at Sawmill Creek and ideas that I stumbled across. I like the bench to be multi purpose including for assembly and to help with outfeed of large pieces from the table saw. Dimensions planned were 24 x 60 for the top, as thick as I could make it using the material I had so that would be about 2 1/8". The base would be 24 x 48. I liked the concepts from the Roubo but wasn't trying to make a roubo bench.
