Building a Workbench and Lumber Storage Rack - Free Diagrams

[csb001]

I've been lurking for awhile and reading about everybody's ideas and experiences building workbenches and lumber storage racks. I finally decided to build my own. I created a plan for each and posted them for free viewing or downloading.

Picture of completed workbench and storage rack:

Plans: Storage Rack Plans: also created a web-page detailing the build of each (with a bunch more photos). Hopefully this will help someone out in the future.

'd like to hear your opinion on what I could have done differently so when I get around to building the next version I can improve upon them.

Here is a fixed version of the links:

Plans: Storage Rack Plans: should have just posted it from google groups in the first place. My old xnews just doesn't handle links very well. Sorry about that.

I would have extended the vertical supports of the rack to the ceiling and run a 2x4 perpendicular to them attaching it to the trusses/rafters. Doing that means that the rack could be darn near free standing as it couldn't tip away from the wall.

Good point. I only would have had to worry about it kicking out at the bottom then. I'm pretty confident the single lag bolt there was/ is sufficient.
