I wanted a workbench for the garage and couldn't find what I wanted from the store as a kit, so I decided to design and build my own. I wanted a large work surface, drawers and a cabinet with sliding doors for tool and other large item storage. I also added a wood vise that I can replace the face material on so if it gets beat up I can replace it. Additionally, the top of the workbench is !/4" hardboard that is just nailed in place with finish nails, so if it gets marred or damaged, it can be pulled up and replaced. There are four drawers on the right side of the base, two are ~3" deep and two are ~8" deep. The cabinet on the left side of the base has one shelf and sliding doors made from 1/4" hardboard.
