Well done Todd! You're gonna love all that storage!

Excellently done. I was looking to build one similar to that on wheels. I love the idea of having it with the mortiser/planer and such down below. If you would be as kind as to post some dimensions i would love to take your idea and use it as a base for my own. I think you must have read my mind on what i want when you made yours. (but with wheels)

I assume those drawer slides are the 100lb rated ones from the borg?

I have to ask... did you edgeband the front doors or are those solid wood? Either way, that is a heck of an investment and attention to detail for a workbench.

Excellent!! Great shop addition...

Great looking bench Todd.

Beautiful work. Much nicer trhan I've seen in many kitchens.

The bench is not screwed to the wall, it's just really heavy. Without the doors and drawers I can barely lift just one side.

The doors/drawers are 3/4 birch ply wrapped with 1/4" solid birch.

I used the 100 lb full extension slides on the drawers and 130lb on the pull out shelves that I bought from Custom Service Hardware. $8.82 for the 100 lb, and $13.18 for the 130 lb. Prices are cheaper if you buy a quantity.

I attached a picture on my plans for the bench, I used TurboCAD to draw it. If anyone has TurboCAD and wants the CAD file just let me know.

I built this bench several years ago, even with the wheels I it it a chore to move around the shop by myself. I had 250lb casters on it and they didn't last long. These are rated for 600 lbs a piece and have not broken yet.

Looks Great, Todd.

I'm about to embark on something very similar to use as an outfeed/assembly table with storage for my spindle sander and air compressor.

What's under the hardboard? Did you build a 2x4 frame with plywood a la Norm or something else?

Congrats on the completed bench!!!! I hope to start my workbench this year. I hope.
