I guess I just like to save money where I can to buy the things I really need/want..!!
Nothing wrong with that.

Ya know, I started with a "modified" computer desk that was all particle board construction. I had to add several vertical supports to keep it sturdy. Plus made some "L" brackets to screw it to the wall.
It actually lasted about a year and a half....Until it just broke down due to the stress
But that gave me time to get the bench's I wanted.

If we all had unlimited funds...Where would be the fun and adventure in that???

Keep moving forward------->

I used Blum Metabox 330M slides, the 22 in deep set. I priced about 5-6 places around the Internet, and purchased from ahturf.com for about $14 per set. I'd give you a link if I was on my computer, but it is difficult from my phone. Google Blum products for the manufacturer website and it lists both product specs and authorized Internet resellers. ahturf's service was mediocre, but their price was the best.

Great...Thanks for the info.
I'll find it, no problem.

Thanks

Gotta question.

What type/brand of slides did you use for the drawers?
I have not looked at all the new type of drawer slides out there in years...But I want to make some for my benches at some time.

Thanks

I really like the way you took the time to do some joinery. That really does help in making it stable.
I use to have a friend that made furniture and cabinets with a lot of joinery and they held up amazingly long and well...!!!!

The bench looks very well....I like the addition of the drawers too. That's what I need to do to my benches..I just have plastic tubs under them which are NOT AS GOOD and easy to look through


GOOD JOB SIR.
