First workbench (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Had to get my garage foundation worked on which required removing everything from the back wall - the workbench from 1970 that was attached to the wall didn't survive.

So I made my own! It's only 18" deep so it can fit between cars, I pull them out to work on both sides. I have found that it needs some sort of anchor though since it's so shallow.

I haven't drilled holes for some pop-up dogs or holdfasts yet but that and a finish of some sort of next. Any suggestions? Thanks for letting me show it off. I know it's simple but I'm happy with it.

How much lateral force would it take to have it fall over? It seems top heavy with a small base, and I wouldn't want kids or others to get smushed while playing while I am away.

You'd have to be trying to tip it. Or as I already found out, trying to plane on it. Luckily I don't have kids and the dog is too prissy to sit out in the heat lol
