This looks solid. How thick should the plywood be?

You can get plans and materials lists for a bench like that at Homey's for free.

You mean home depot?

[tony357 386]

that depends on who works at the depot..

Yes, on one of the end caps in the lumber area there are a couple of shelves of metal brackets and supports. On the side of that there are usually a couple of tear offs with plans for benches and shelving units and the such. It's a nice afternoon DIY project. My 6 year old daughter helped me build a work bench in my garage.

Simpson Strongtie has plans for a workbench on their website. They make corner brackets (RTC24) that make putting a bench together easy. For less than 100 bucks I was able to make a VERY sturdy bench. It was also fairly easy. My 8 year old daughter helped me and it made for a very nice Saturday project.
