Overall cost: $$$. Lumber varies by region, species, and season, so we give a band rather than a figure.

1. 1
Cut the legs to size using a miter saw/circular saw.
2. 2
Attach the side supports to the legs using wood glue and 2 1/2" pocket screws. Make sure the supports are flush with the top and bottom of the legs.
3. 3
Attach the side supports to the legs using wood glue and 2 1/2" pocket screws.
4. 4
Attach the shelf supports 16 3/4" up from the bottom of the opening on the stand as shown in the picture. It is easier to keep them level if you use a scrap piece of wood cut to 16 3/4" and set the shelf supports on top before you screw them in. Use wood glue and 2 1/2" pocket screws to attach them to the front and back as shown in the picture.
5. 5
Cut the notches for the bottom shelf using an oscillating tool and a blade. I suggest marking where you need to cut with a square. You can also use a hand saw!
6. 6
Attach the bottom shelf to the bottom of the stand using screws in from the top into the base. Do the same with the top.
7. 7
Add the middle shelf the same way you attached the top and bottom shelves.
8. 8
Optional: Add casters to make it easier to move around the shop! You can just leave as is or you can sand, stain/paint and you made an easy stand perfect for your workshop.
