Workbench Features My goal: I wanted a large, sturdy work table where: I could work standing up or sitting down.

The top was smooth and free of obstructions.

The bench dimensions could be no more than 4’ x 8’.

All my power (bench-top & hand-power) and other tools were readily available.

I did not have to spend any time (less than one minute) setting up or stowing my power tools.

There was efficient utilization of space within the workbench.

The workbench would fit into my current (small space) garage arrangement.

Not only would I have instant access to my power tools, but also the workbench top could be used as an extension to those bench-top power tools (and my table saw) that needed a longer bed to support for larger pieces of lumber.

The workbench had to house a lathe, compound power miter saw, bench grinder, router table, planer, and two vises. In addition, it had to house various hand-power and manual tools.

Lots of built-ins and storage space.

A lip around the top edges for clamping work in progress. Features: Flat, clutter-free 4' x 8' 3" work table (clutter-free except for bench-top mounted small vise)

Bench top is same height as table saw and is positioned so it can be used as an extension table for larger/longer pieces

Awesome utilization of space.

Power tools (planer, power miter saw, router table, bench grinder, lathe) all built into the bench and can be easily set up in under 1 minute, or can easily disappear in the same amount of time. (Bench grinder has yet to be purchased and installed.)

All power tools are bench height and can use the bench top as extensions to the individual beds and tables.

Three-sided access to the workbench.

Since the power tools are built into the workbench, no extra storage space is needed.

There is a 1-1/4” lip around the top of the workbench (4 sides) for clamping.

A 42” x 36” removable assembly table can be positioned anywhere across the front of the workbench.

Storage space for hand tools and hand power tools under the workbench bench top.

There are two (2) 28" x 39 1/2" drawers on rollers under the workbench and other drawers for additional storage.

Built-in vacuum system
