This 30 inch deep x 6 feet long workbench is the ultimate in garage organization. It is constructed from fifteen pieces of 8 foot long 2 x 4’s and
one 1/2 inch thick sheet of plywood. Screw the wood framing together with the 3 inch screws. Then screw the plywood onto the frame with the
1 5/8 inch screws.

We went to our local Home Depot and had them cut all of the wood for us to make our life easier.
The wood cost was right around $80 bucks and they cut the wood for us for free.

Here is our wood for our bench neatly organized and labeled to make assembly easy. x

We started out putting the bottom shelf of our workbench together first.
We used the 3″ drywall screws to start to put the framing of the bench together.
It is recommended to drill a few pilot holes in the wood with a small drill bit before screwing in the screws.

We then assembled the top of the workbench in the same manner as the bottom using the 3″ wood screws.

Once the top and bottom shelf were assembled we screwed the legs to the bench using more 3″ wood screws.
NOTE: Always put two 3″ wood screws evenly spaced and into the attach areas as shown in the photo above.

We then attached the 6 foot by 30″ deep top plywood board using the 1 5/8 wood screws.
This will be the area that we do our future projects on that will keep our garage organized.

Thanks for the helpful instructions. I’m in the process of building my first official workbench and organizing my smallish garage.

Brenton Newell,
The dimensions of the peg board will be different for each area the workbench will be in. It will all depend on the size you need.

I’m not very gifted at all when it comes to building things. I took this project on for my mother who needed a workbench. Took about 3-3 1/2 hrs
but turned out great. Very easy to construct. Thanks for the plans

I am a fairly inexperienced DIYer and I have a few questions: How far apart are the joists, and what are the measurements of the two shelves
and work surfaces and I’m assuming they can be cut from the single piece of plywood? Thanks in advance.

RR,
Finished bottom and about to add upper shelf and pegboard. Just wanted to say thanks because this is turning out wonderful. I excluded the
light and pegboard accessories having already had them and I’m at $105 with a soon to be perfect workbench.

This looks like the answer for me, just curious about the size of the pegboard. I know HD sells small pegboard setups and large yet this looks
like somewhere in the middle. Dimensions of it cut and was this available whole to purchase? Thanks for the great knowledge!

David,
Home Depot or Lowe’s will cut pegboard or wood to size. And they will do it free. If you need a smaller workbench, just reduce the
dimensions by a certain percentage.

Hi,
thanks for a great article. I notice you specify drywall screws. Should they be fine thread or coarse thread?
Cheers!

Coarse threads are best for this type of woodworking project.
