Had to get my garage foundation worked on which required removing everything from the back wall - the workbench from 1970 that was attached to the wall didn’t survive.
So I made my own! It’s only 18" deep so it can fit between cars, I pull them out to work on both sides. I have found that it needs some sort of anchor though since it’s so shallow.
I haven’t drilled holes for some pop-up dogs or holdfasts yet but that and a finish of some sort of next. Any suggestions? Thanks for letting me show it off. I know it’s simple but I’m happy with it.
To anchor it, it might be enough to put a length of plywood on hinges so it folds flat to the floor. Standing on that will make it pretty solid. I’m thinking maybe a couple of feet wide so your are solidly on it no matter how you stand. Maybe some long bevels on the edges to reduce the tripping hazard.
That’s a really good idea, thanks!
Very nice! What’s next on the shop build list?
Looks solid. I like the idea of using the 2x4s on edge for the work surface.
How much lateral force would it take to have it fall over? It seems top heavy with a small base, and I wouldn’t want kids or others to get smushed while playing while I am away.
