Fitting out a new work bench

Once you have a nicely expanded shed, you obviously need more workspace. And so, a good 9 foot of extra workbench seemed appropriate...

This starts with some pretty sturdy frames (reclaimed timber of course)...

Joints here don't need to be cut. Simply screwed with BIG screws

and an existing workbench recycled...

then some gratifying drawer building...

A cheap-end counter top added...

The drawers could then be fine-pruned to fit. This was crudely done with the reciprocating saw (grey thing on floor), then fine-edged with the smoothing plane (just behind the orange box on the counter)...

And then some handle-hole drilling.
















Screw on some handes. This is particularly satisfying, as I have had these for about 20 years, wondering what to use them for...

Very nice. The three drawers: Left...

Middle...

And right (this drawer came with the frame...)

And finally a classy low shot of the three of them...
