I have a new Pole Barn and needed to begin outfitting it for use.
In an ideal world I' d build my workbench from 4X4s and 2x10s but, with the cost of lumber and me being tapped out after building the barn, I looked at cost effective alternatives.
I present to you: The Pallet Bench.
Pallets - Free from a roofing company who just wanted them gone
2x4s - Scrap stock from the garage
1x2s - $6
Hardware - About $12
Time - 90 minutes or so cutting the pallets and bolting them together on a rainy afternoon
Two ( pretty sturdy ) benches for $18 and 90 minutes of time. I was going to put a hardboard surface on but think I'll just use them " as is "
