I can imagine at least three work benches in the garage. Time to use some of the weathered wood in front of the garage. I moved a few pieces into the auto bay, 2 2x12's previously used as scaffolds, and various 2x6's:
I sized a 2x6 frame by laying 2x6's on the 2x12's. I cut 18.5 inch long 2x6's for the short pieces. This will leave a lip along the front of the bench in case I want to clamp something to the edge. I screwed the frame together using 3" deck screws:
Four legs screwed on:
Six legs on, back stop nailed on, top screwed down:
March 23. When I finished the south interior wall, I built a workbench against that wall. I snapped a chalk line high enough to miss the lower outlets:
I nailed short 2x6's into long 2x6's and nailed the long 2x6's into the studs. Then I nailed an 18' 2x8 to the front:
Not happy with the height (too high) I pried the assembly off the wall, cut a notch in the back for the outlet and lowered it. I then finished it with some split and weathered 2x10's for legs, and 18' 2x8's for the top. Very solid!
