...bench in about an hour. and a half plus a few minutes to paint. The paint was dry in about 15 minutes. (Painted the wood before bolting it down)

It only took 15 minutes to make it a mess.
:lol_hitti

All I did was use 2 sheets of 3/4 ply and some shelving I had.
Solid as a rock and I only used 6 screws to hold on the 3 wood shelves. (Barrel nuts rock)
I can pull the wood off in a couple of minutes if I have to relocate in the future.
I don't know what it would cost to duplicate as I had everything but the 2 sheets of ply. That was 40 bucks.
Quick, easy, sturdy.

After looking on pinterest and seeing the wood benches and stuff, no way was I going to waste time making that ****.

Now I need to find a good way to hang my myriad of cords and hoses :willy_nil
I'm also going to box off the compressor underneath.

That looks great. Gives organization and a place to work. That keeps a lot of stuff handy and in one place. Good Job!

Best Regards
Herb

Id add some 2x2 angle to both sides to stiffen it up so when something pisses you off you can beat the living **** out of it with the hammer and not take down you awesome workspace with it lol

It is plenty stiff. There is zero flex in it.
The top will keep it from folding in anyway.
Maybe the charging shelf could flex but it's to high to beat on it anyway.
I also have this metal one with the tire rack on it to bang on if needed. :lol_hitti

Thanks all. Sometimes, er usually, simple is best.

Anyone have any good ideas for hanging hoses and cords ?
I have a air reel already mounted up but I still have 5 hoses and at least 10 ext. cords (there are more hung on another wall)
I looked on pinterest but all I saw looked kinda hokey
