Video Description

So I decided to design this bench with a large open shelf for the CNC, but I made the top "flip open-able" so that I can easily access the machine from all sides as needed. Of course, the flip top may not be a feature you want, so you can certainly skip that extra step at the end and just make your top stationary. Either way, this is a versatile workbench with 4 good sized drawers and open shelving for wood, tools, equipment, etc. Check out the plans on MakeByMe here: https://home.by.me/en/guide/diy-plans-to-build-workbench-drawers/ Check out more project details and additional tips here: https://www.woodshopdiaries.com/easy-diy-workbench-with-drawers/ Follow Woodshop Diaries On: Website: https://www.woodshopdiaries.com/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@woodshopdiaries?
