Drawers finished! Now it's time to organize all the tools and fasteners that I have in mind to keep inside the workbench.

A short video where I'll show you how I built the drawers for my new modular workbench.
I've used 4mm thick beech veneered Mdf to glue on the fronts of the drawers, new system which I think is quite convenient and aesthetically pleasing for this slideless drawers!

Hi quick question, I’m interested in building a bench but before I buy plans I’d like to know what thickness of ply you use for the main frames and cupboards, 18mm or thicker ?
Thanks and you redesigns looks really great.

yes, 18mm. I have also used 15 and 9mm soft plywood for the drawers.

Hi Suso,
great work you’ve done! And very good and detailed plans! I would never sit down and prepare everything in such a detail on the computer - much too lazy for that.
I’ve started to build the first of 2 of these modular workbenches last weekend.
I'm using 15mm plywood as it is available more common with reasonable prices here in my home area. Instead of glueing 3 stripes of plywood I put together 4 of them - a lot of glueing without any nails! So this took a while with a limited number of clamps...
I’ve planned to use plywood as well for the workbench top (3 sheets).
This weekend some sanding has to be done and the 2 drawer frames will be build, and as the front vice sitting on the side, screws, castors etc. have already arrived today I hope to finish the first workbench in the next 2 weeks.
I’ll report here!
Cheers
