DIY Small Mobile Workbench With Storage

My main concern was the lack of storage and organization. Almost from day one, the bottom shelf became a space for scrap wood to accumulate.

Step 1: Prep the board

Step 2: Build the leg frame

Step 3: Add the large plywood shelf

Step 4: Build and attach the middle support

Step 5: Build and install the drawer

Step 6: Install the caster

These are my favorite casters for workshop furniture. Learn more
