Time to have a flat surface that help holding and put together materials. This is the time for the workbench.

Construction materials:

  • 2×4
  • 1/4″ Plywood

  • 1/2″ MDF panel
  • Paint

I start cutting all the 2×4 for the legs, and rails.

I turn over it and added the wheels. Honestly, I can’t remember why I did that, because the top and bottom are exactly the same, haha.

Now is time to cut the panels for the top/bottom surfaces . You can see I keep using the same track saw I used on my Garage Shelves.
