It’s My Birthday…

… so I built another workbench. You can never have too many workbenches.

This one’s in the garage, so it’s a little less fancy than the previous one, but I can’t count the number of times I’ve been trying to work on something out there and really needed some sort of work surface, so it should be a big improvement. My dad came down and helped with the construction, and Cressa and my mom cleaned up the gardens that were growing out of control.

I used some plans I found online with some slight modifications; mine’s 6′ long, but only 30″ wide, and a tiny bit taller than 3′ (incidentally, it apparently confuses people who grew up with the imperial system when you write down 2.5′ to mean “two and a half feet”). We also skimped on the bolts when we got to attaching the top to the legs and only used two in each corner since they’re not actually supporting anything and they were a pain to put in.
