About the build
A smarter shop starts with a better plan

Take your workshop to the next level and gain some ground in the pursuit of "Shop Greatness." This workbench has a bank of drawers for tool storage, an integrated retractable power cord reel, and automatic (2-stage) dust collection built in. It's a great asset for a small shop.

FAQ
Good questions before you build
Is this a physical product?
No. This is a digital download of the build plans, not a finished piece of furniture or a kit of parts. Nothing ships to you, and you source the lumber and hardware yourself.
How do I get my plans after I buy?
Right after checkout you'll get an email with your download link. Check your spam or promotions folder if it doesn't show up within a few minutes.
Can I print the plans?
Yes. The plans are a standard PDF, so you can print them at home or at a print shop, or just keep them open on a phone, tablet or laptop while you work.
What skill level do I need?
The plans are written to be approachable. If you're comfortable with common power tools and take your time, you can follow along one step after another.
Is there a build video to follow?
Most Shop Nation projects are featured on the Shop Nation YouTube channel, so you can watch the build come together as a companion to the plans.
