Today we upgrade the garage workbench from the ten year old Ikea office table with broken legs to a dedicated table saw and miter saw workbench. Here are some of the specs:

4x8 ft workbench
40" height. The workbench is shorter in the original plans but I made it a bit taller to account for my height
Mounted on rolling casters for easy mobility
Miter saw shelf can be removed and placed onto the table top for a larger out feed surface for the table saw if needed
Dedicated table saw shelf
2x4s used for all of the construction
2 1/2" general construction screws used to join the 2x4s
1 1/4" screws used to join the MDF
Kreg pocket screws used to hold join a few of the 2x4s.

This build is mostly based on the plans from Bitterroot DIY: https://www.bitterrootdiy.com/diymob...

I made a few modifications to the original plans to account for my table and miter saw dimensions. Overall I'm pretty happy with how the project turned out. The only thing I would have done different is not using 2x4s to hold up the top piece of plywood. The bows in the 2x4s made the top slightly uneven. The total cost of materials not including tools was about $230.
