Step-by-step build — 9 steps. Also available as a print sheet.
Tip: Check manufacturer's instructions Make sure to follow manufacturer's instructions to assemble the workbench frame and attach the top.
Tip: Using screws from the bottom The rails in the workbench have predrilled holes to drive your screws through. Flip the workbench on its side for easier access.
Cut two pieces of 3/4" plywood to 1 7/8" x 5 1/2". Install one piece on the inside of each front leg like shown so that they are touching the top rail. Use 3/4" pocket holes through the predrilled holes in the legs to secure.
Tip: Pay attention to the back corners Make sure the back corners are square! Note that the inside edge of these drawer braces at the front are 1 7/8" from the inside corner of the legs. So they should be 1 7/8" from the inside corner of the legs at the back as well. Use a square to double check the back panel and drawer braces are square to each other while installing. If they aren't you'll have issues with the drawer once installed.
Install (1) pair of 16" ball bearing drawer slides onto the braces from the previous step so that they are 3/4" inset from the front legs. Install these flush along the bottom edge of the drawer brace panels.
Tip: Installing Drawer Slides For more information on installing drawer slides, see the link below.
Install drawer box onto slides so that the front of the box is 3/4" inset from the front of the legs and the top is approximately 1 1/4" below the top rail.
