Workbench Wood Order
1- ⅜ (or 19/32” ) x4’x8’ OSB Panel pick your thickness
5- 2x4x104 ⅝
5- 2x4x92 ⅝
2 1/2" wood screws
Cuts
Take 4 of the 104’’ studs and cut out the following from each board:
2 @ 36”
1 @ 32”
Giving you 36+36+32=104” ⅜ left over as waste assuming a ⅛ width blade
With the last 104” stud cut 3 sections @ 32” each
Take one of the 92” Studs and cut off 2 sections @ 29”
*If you’re able, with the excess 58” from this stud cut two 8” sections then adjust the saw blade to 45 degrees and cut the corners off as demonstrated in the video.
The 2 of the remaining 92” studs can be trimmed to 89 ⅝ if you’d like or be left at the full length.
This should give you:
8 legs - 36”
7 supports - 32”
2 leg braces - 29”
2 framing pieces -92 ⅝”
2 leg supports - 92 ⅝” or 89 ⅝ “ if you choose to cut them down
