After about 6 months of collecting materials and watching YouTube videos, I finally got the workbench done in the garage. Got it all set up with storage underneath and a pegboard wall. My oldest actually helped me install the mounting brackets which was pretty cool. Now I've got a proper setup to fix stuff instead of working on the driveway like some kind of caveman.
This is how it starts. Next thing you know you'll be the guy who can fix anything in the house. My kids think I'm basically a superhero now because I built a simple shelf.
That's awesome, man. There's something really satisfying about finally finishing a project like that. What are you planning to build first?
That's awesome man! Six months is nothing when you're building something you actually want to use. What kind of workbench did you end up going with, and are you planning to use it for a specific project?
Six months of YouTube university paying off! I did the same thing with a shelf unit and it felt so good to finally have it done. Are you finding time to actually use it or is it becoming a storage spot like mine?
That's dedication right there. I did the same thing with my workbench and it's been one of the best investments for having a solid place to actually work on things. Nice work getting it done.

Six months of planning paid off! I've been thinking about doing something similar in my garage but haven't pulled the trigger yet. How sturdy is it? Any regrets on the design?
