Finally finished the garage workbench. 8 months later.

Started this thing last winter and just got it done. Built it from scratch with some 2x4s and old barn wood my buddy gave me. Took way longer than expected because apparently I can only work on it when the kids are asleep or at school. But man, it feels good to actually have a place to organize my tools instead of them being scattered everywhere. Wife is even happy because my stuff is finally off the kitchen table.

Eight months for a solid workbench is worth it. I've got stuff in my garage that's been half-done for way longer. Love that you used the barn wood too, that's character.

That's awesome, man. Those weekend projects hit different when you actually finish them. Bet it feels good to have a real workspace now.

Eight months of work finally paying off. That's the dream right there. I finished my basement last year and now it's where everyone wants to hang out. Those projects that take forever end up being worth it because of the memories made down there.

Using 2x4s and old barn wood sounds solid. Those handmade workbenches hit different than store bought. Now the fun part starts where you actually get to use it for something.

Nice man. There's something about building your own workspace from scratch. Did you end up staining it or leaving the wood natural?
