Because let’s be honest, who gets that lucky? Start attaching those 1×4’s! This is where the clamps come in! Especially if all of your boards aren’t perfectly straight. At this point you should have a left rectangular side of your bench and a right rectangular side of your bench. You will want to match them up height-wise with the 33” 2×4’s.ĭo the same for the other side. Pull two of those up onto their sides with 2 of the 21” 2×4’s between them. Lay two of your 4×4’s parallel to each other with two of your 33” 2×4’s between them.Īttach the first 2×4, ¾ of an inch from the top of the 4×4’s then attach the second 2×4, 14” down from the first one. You can also find it at Home Depot or Lowes! Step 2:īust out your handy dandy Kreg Jig like the one you can get here, and drill all the places I’ve previously indicated with arrows.Īs for the Kreg – I’m a big fan of Prime, and not having to leave my house, which is why I linked Amazon. *Arrows mark pocket holes and anything labeled with a red ‘ S’ is SCRAP – but don’t toss it! I’ve made many, many, many projects completely out of SCRAP wood – and the best part is it’s FREE!Ĭut all your wood! Usually after I cut everything down I’ll take a pretty rough piece of sandpaperĪnd just knock off all the burs or really noticeable splinters. 2” Spax Screws (any generic wood screw will do – but I prefer Spax brand).
The Miter Saw Bench is my FAVORITE build so far!!
