Thats a nice setup and cute dog.

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

You mean home depot?

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.
