About 5-6 years ago I borrowed a friends welder and built a workbench for my garage and used a craftsman wood top. That bench has been great, but Kees getting smaller and smaller, as I pile more thing on it. I kept finding myself sitting on the floor to wrench on something or putting it on top of my garbage can for support, so I decided to build a bigger bench to add next to my current on. Just wanted to share the process. I made a drawing of the design (sorry, no pics of that) and decided to use 2x2” square tubing with 1/8” thickness and 2” angle iron for the “frame of the bench”.Here is a quick list of the materials:
4 pieces of 42” long square tubing (the legs)
1 piece of 84” long square tubing
2 pieces 23” long square tubing
2 pieces of 84” inch long angle iron
2 pieces of 23” long angle iron
