DIY Work Benches

BAM!! Done in two minutes. I wish I could do it that quickly.

 

Mine is built on casters from harbor freight and made entirely of 2x4 and ply wood. It took ten minutes to build lol. Ugly as hell but sturdy and functional.

 

I use a folding Wally World table (~$30) and stackable old milk crates that allow variable heights.

 

I have a few work spaces available, and generally adhere to the rule that

Any Flat Surface Will Do. And usually does.

Cheers.

 

Thanks! Last winter I bookmarked a similar site with the intention of taking a few days off with the purpose of developing some workspace. It never came to fruition, but maybe this year?

 

An unoccupied horizontal flat surface is a short lived commodity in my work space.
Thanks @corbmoster for bringing the link

 

We recently got a new wood stove, and I made sure I kept the shipping crate for it. I reassembled it minus the pallet on the bottom and it's working nicely. I have to rearrange the brewing area in the basement to make it fit better between my storage cabinet and the slop sink, but I'm pretty happy. I may get a sheet of diamond plate metal to attach to the top to protect the plywood that's there - as you may know, there does end up with a lot of water all over the place while brewing.

 

You don't mention it, but have you taken into account the clearances from the stove to the combustible plywood as required by the fire codes? We don't want you to burn down your house?

 

I just re-read your post @JrGtr and now realize that you're using the crate from the new stove for work space and putting a plywood top on it, not the stove. I'm allowed to confuse myself, but shouldn't be doing it to you too.

 

Yeah, sorry I wasn't clear. The wood stove is in the den, the crate is in the basement. PLus, I've moved from propane turkey fryer burner to induction. No heat or open flames involved. The only thing I have to do is get some plastic sheeting over the insulation overhead and work out ventilation with the window above.
