Here’s a woodworking table that takes only an afternoon to build and can absorb a real pounding. It’s as rugged as an expensive European-style woodworker’s bench, but it’s made entirely from 2x4s. To build it, you’ll need:
- Four 33-inch 2x4s (legs A)
- Four 46-inch 2x4s (long stretchers B)
- Four 16-1/2 inch 2x4s (end stretchers C)
- Fifteen 5-foot. 2x4s (woodwork benchtop D)
- Sixteen 3-1/2 inch x 3/8-inch carriage bolts, nuts and washers
- Sixteen 3-inch x 3/8-inch lag screws
- 2 lbs. of 3-inch deck screws

Build the Base First
- Clamp together the stretchers and legs.
- Predrill and bolt the base together.
- Pro tip: Keep the width of the legs from outer edge to outer edge at exactly 16-1/2 inches. Use this base as a large sawhorse to assemble the top of this 2×4 workbench.
