Bench

• August 17th, 2007 • • construction, studio •

Great googly-moogly it’s hot outside. It rained a bit last night and today so the air is like a sponge. Nevertheless, I finished my new workbench today!

The whole thing cost me under $30, not including the generous supply of screws I keep on hand. For my first bench, I must say I’m pleased with myself. I had the chipboard cut while at Home Depot (There’s a Home Depot only a minute from my house!) and cut all of the studs myself. Sawing lumber on a muggy August day by hand outright sucks. But I did it! I even managed to cut the shelf supports at an angle without a miter box. He ain’t the prettiest thing in the world, but nice and sturdy. And cheap. Take that pre-fab workbenches.
