Finished up the workbench. Made with mostly free 2x4s, with some extra 2x6s purchased.

Half laps everywhere.

Two sjoberg vises because I just have too much money to spend.

Dog holes.

Flip down casters.

Adjustable leveling feet that I designed and 3D printed. You can kick them over with your toe to adjust and get rid whatever wobble appears in that particular spot.

Thanks for the details and links! If I ever get around to building my own, I’ll let you know how it goes.

I’m not much of an engineer - my approach tends to be a combination of “that seems like it would be sturdy,” “I’ll just copy this design that seems sturdy,” and “I’m not sure, so I’ll overbuild it just in case”. How did you decide on your structural design/bracing?
