My answer, as long as your shop can accommodate. Longer even. You will thank me later when you are in the excited throes of a project and you have 9 different things going on at once.

The depth of your workbench should, ideally, be no longer than your arm can reach across it. In most cases, that number falls around 24 . If you happen to be the type of woodworker that works with unusually large or wide pieces, then you may want to add a few inches. But for most projects and pieces, two feet should be sufficient. Length

Your bench design cannot be too heavy or too long. But its top can easily be too wide or too tall. I think your benchtop should be as long as possible. Find the wall where your workbench will go hint: Pick the wall that has a window . Measure that space. Subtract four feet from that measurement and that s a good length for the top.

34 36 86cm 91cm tend to be the most common workbench height for woodworking. A height in between these two extremes tends to be the most popular, particular if you do a range of activities at your workbench.
