Looks good however depending on what you are going to put on it I would have doubled up the legs.

I think your doghouse is missing a lot of features, like, you know, walls.

I hear ya. It's just going to be a simple workbench. Maybe a tiny vise on it, mainly use it to do small odd jobs.

I really don't mean to be insulting, but I was building stuff like that when I was 12. Every boy should: play with linkin logs, fix his own bike, and build shit from wood. It should be law.

Not insulting, I build things just not with wood. I could build you your companies entire LAN/WAN if you want

Just got a late start with building from wood.

umm, you built a heavy-duty bubble level stand?  

JK,  everybody starts with a 'first project'.  I'd use the leftover 2-by's to build a couple of sawhorses if you don't have any.

Should have been bigger,  Once you bolt the 650 one one side and the Rockchucker on the other you are out of room for the bullets and brass.

I really really really wish I could have done it bigger. I have a tiny garage though so I am pinched for space. I needed something. My toolbox takes up a good portion so I could not really make it bigger.

You are a man, you completed a project. Grab a beer, sit back, stare at it a while and go give the little lady a shagging she will not soon forget.

Celebrate manhood through projects!

LOL! Thanks man.

Not quite completed yet, still need to put another plywood underneath and wire an extension cord into the conduit so I will have a permanent source of electricity.

That's where the sawhorses come in.  Throw a piece of plywood over 'em (or better yet, a discarded/re-purposed hollow-core door) and you've got any size table you need.  Then take it apart and stack it all against the wall until you need it again.

ksmith13 is right, double up the legs, you will really appreciate how much more "solid" it will fee; good job!

I hear you on the space limitations, looks like you designed it as an under bench bench.

I tend to use 5/16-18 bolts with lots of fender washers and sometimes wing nuts to allow mounted items to get swapped around. Like when I need to add my RCBS lube/sizer for a short run...
