easy-to-build Worksurfaces By itself, the workstation is great for projects around the shop and house. But the accessories shown on the next few pages make it even more versatile and useful. Worksurface. The first accessory I added was a simple worksurface. It's just a piece of plywood with some cleats to hold it in place on the rails (see detail 'a' at right). If you want to use the worksurface at both heights, you'll need two sets of cleats as shown in the drawing. It makes a great assembly or finishing table for projects. Or a handy workbench when I need a little extra elbow room to work. Sacrificial Supports. When I need to cut a sheet of plywood down to size, I'll usually use my circular saw. With a set of sacrificial supports, you can safely cut through the plywood and also support the workpiece for a cleaner — and safer — cut. Each one is just a 2x4 with cleats added to the bottom like the ones on the worksurface above (detail 'a' at right). NOTE: WORKSURFACE IS %" PLYWOOD.

Simple 2x4 supports turn your workstation into a panel-cutting bench. 1. Worksurface. For a quick and easy finishing table or workbench, apiece of plywood is all it takes. Cleats hold it in place, making for a sturdy worksurface. |
