Cut each 3.5" x 3" out of each corner for the bottom shelf to allow for space for the legs.Attach three 29" supports along the top and bottom at intervals of 15.5".They should line up with the locations of the span pieces you attached in the last step. Attach the front and back sections together with 26" boards using pocket holes and 2.5" pocket hole screws on each end on the inside.Lay two legs down on a flat surface and insert the 69.5" spans into the lap area you created in step one.Attach boards together using 2.5" construction screws.

That’s not nearly big enough for most projects I’m building. I have a smaller workbench on the other side of the shop, but it is only about 18″ x 48″. So I finally decided it was time to get the ‘base’ of my workshop built. That really won’t hold anything with a significant amount of weight and it was throwing my builds just slightly off square/level/flat. I finally realized I was building these projects on just two sawhorses that were anything but sturdy and a couple of 2x4s with a 3×8′ sheet of plywood on top.
