6 Multi-Functional Workbench

6 Multi-Functional Workbench
At the heart of any good shop lies a great workbench. With that in mind, we went all out to design the unit shown here. In issue 102, Winter 1997 we showed how to build the end cabinets, drawers, and laminated benchtop. In issue 103, February 1998 we added a pair of cabinets-one with a lift-up router table and another with a flip-over top that accommodates a benchtop power tool (see below).

This one project was responsible forgetting me wholly involved into woodworking. These are the best ever, in fact this whole Idea Shop 3 series is absolutely the best. I still build these every time I add a somewhat stationary tool to my shop.
