Product Description
Benchtop tools like a drill press, band saw, router table, or jointer are too tall for a standard workbench — this midsize workbench is built to the right height so those tools actually work the way they're supposed to. No more hunching over or building a separate stand for every tool. If you don't run benchtop tools, it also works as a solid medium-height surface for projects that have outgrown your regular workbench.
Built from standard 2x4 construction lumber with two 3" drawers and one 8" drawer for storage, this bench is designed to suit all experience levels — the detailed cut plan makes assembly a breeze. An automatic calculator custom-fits the whole build to your shop, so just plug in your numbers and the plans adjust to fit.
Built-In Calculator
Change a number, and the entire cut list, cut plan, and 3D diagrams update to match. No redrawing plans, no manual math.
- Set your own overall width, depth, and height so the bench lines up exactly where you need it
- Input your 2x4 dimensions (standard, milled, or metric) and the plans recalculate every cut to match
Plans Include:

Well detailed plans, as always. Thank you!
Easy to follow and understand
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!
