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!
Looks solid. I like the idea of using the 2x4s on edge for the work surface.
Very nice! What’s next on the shop build list?
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.
