Enhance your shop with a midsized workbench that's great for your benchtop tools that are too tall for your standard workbench like a drill press, band saw, router table, or jointer. If you don't have any of those tools its a great medium height for projects that have gotten too tall for your regular height workbenches. Overall workbench size is 2' x 3' x 28" with two 3" drawers and one 8" drawer.

Having looked at it looks good not made it yet
I wish I had used a planer on the 2X4's for width consistency. It would be helpful if you could have included the measurements of the open face of the cabinet once the sides are installed to determine the accuracy of the build.
I am actually an electrician and newer to woodworking and want to learn cabinets so I can build them for my kitchen. I figured I would start by building them for my garage. First, I wanted to find something a little bit smaller and easier and after surfing YouTube I chose this build specifically. This was my first ever attempt making a cabinet and the plans were fantastic to have! It gave me a reference and a guide for the construction. I did deviate from the plans making mine a little bigger and I wanted to try some more advanced joinery so I did locking rabbits with a captured 1/4” plywood bottom and back panel. It really wasn’t that hard to take the plans and do some math to make adjustments. Also, having the video to go along with it makes it super easy. I think this is the perfect first build. I’d definitely recommend!
Great plans
One thing to note on page 11: when attaching the stretchers with screws, make sure to place them outside of where the crosspieces will go. Otherwise, you may end up being unable to attach the crosspieces with pocket screws because those screws are in the way. I found that out the hard way.
