Big-Top Workbench
A big bench for big jobs! Spanning nearly 8 feet long and 3 feet wide, this workbench can handle any project you bring its way.
The plan design follows traditional workbench construction, with solid-wood lumber and mortise and tenon joinery. We used MDF (medium-density fiberboard) to simplify the top construction and avoid having to glue up solid wood panels for the top.
How do you make a great bench plan even better? Add workbench storage! The Big-Top Workbench plan includes step-by-step instructions for building the drawers and cabinets you see here. We also added an optional pegboard storage panel to each end.
Overall dimensions: 92" L x 42-3/4" D x 35" H
