The finished product
I set out to build a simple, cheap workbench for my audio project. I found some simple workbench plans, which I modified for length, height and width. I sketch everything out quickly and tabulated the sizes I would need and set off to Home Depot. The best bargain of the day is that Home Depot will cut all of your lumber to size – a huge timesaver for me, especially since I don’t own a powersaw.
In total, build time was about 1-2 hours. I really took my time – I think if you’re experienced and focus you could do it in about 30 minutes. Alternatively, you could paint it as well to finish it off, but I think I’ll keep the ‘natural’ look.
Materials:
(7) 2″ x 4″ @ $2.30 each = ~$16
(1) 8′x6′ OSB Board = $9
(1) Box of 2.5″ screws = $5
(1) Ikea ‘Franklin’ 29″ Stool = $29
Total cost: $59
Build progress pictures after the break.
I don’t get what the fuss is about.

Other Notes: Ridgeback Rd. is an incredible few miles. There’s a great place to stop in Olema right before you take a right onto Sir Francis Drake. There’s a Cafe & a small store to buy a snickers at Mtn Dew
