There's not much to attaching the front rail to the bench top. It's simply glued to the front of the laminated MDF and filler strip.

A few screws are all you need to attach it to the cabinet. With the bench support cabinet securely fastened in place, you're ready to work on the flip-up workbench. It's a handy addition that really makes this project stand out.
