Repurposed Doors Computer Desk - by michaelray
The best workbenches are built from solid wood, but building a workbench top through lamination takes a lot of skill and money. The planked top is traditional approach to workbench design, that gives you the best solution all round - a heavy weight, solid wood top that s quick and simple to build.
The top is supported by the top ends of the legs and the top sides of the top stretchers. Stand your legs on end on a flat surface like my door and see if they wobble. If you have an end that isn t quite stable, use it as a foot, where the leveler will make it s flaws unimportant.
My first real woodworking bench was made with a framework of home-center 2x lumber and a doubled-up top made of 3/4-in. MDF see below . I put a banding of 3/4-in. poplar all around its edges to hide them and improve durability see top photo .
A small woodworking vice is the only addition to this thick-framed workbench. an MDF table surface is added to provide a flat surface that will not warp with humidity changes. Wood screws and wood glue will help to keep everything together, and a drill and saw should be the only major tools needed to dimension and prep the lumber. Materials
