Workbench Project... Done!

Finally, it's done! While it is far from perfect, it really helped me hone my skills with my Ryobi circular saw, the jig saw, and impact driver. Tools are fun! 



I think the top may need another sheet on top--something thin--to make it a smooth surface. There is a slight bow on the edges of the MDF pieces. If I were to do it again, I would get one sheet... but jeez, that one sheet would be HEAVY!



Initially, I wanted to include my miter and table saws into the design, but I feel I would have lost a lot of the table top space I need. However, I found a rather cool idea on the Family Handyman site: Heavy-Duty shelf brackets to add various attachments. They called it "the Swiss Army Knife" of workbenches. While the workbench is technically complete, it does give me some ideas for a few additions!
