Hi, this is my first project posted here in PHM and actually it is my first wood project. Im new to this hobby. I just started last year when I start to do this Work Bench. It took me almost year to complete this build. sobra bagal paminsan-minsan ko lang kasi nagagawa medyo busy.
I started gathering materials and tools power tools March 2011 and started the build in June last year. finished it February 2012. I have no plans I just go with it.

the sliding door also works as a lock for the drawers.

Re: My First Work Bench

when all foot are extended it would be very hard for the table to move.

I use my Kreg + hafelle hi-lo screw (the longest i think its 55mm). I think 6-8 screws per leg plus across the cross sections.
