Some Assembly Required

 

Now that the he/she shed is done for the time being, my wife has moved another project up from the depths of my list to the top. She wants a porch swing for our front porch. I think that would be great, but I have one little problem. When I started my garage remodel project during the early days of Covid, I had to tear out my fixed workbench along the wall. I was happy to do so at the time because it always just collected clutter and due to it being up against the wall, really limited me to what I could do on it. By getting rid of it, it allowed me to redo the cabinets over it and push all my tools now on mobile carts underneath up against the wall. This freed up space and allows me to park both cars inside at night. 

My master plan was to replace the fixed workbench with one on wheels so it could be mobile. This would allow me to pull it into the center of the garage where I have room and plenty of light and it could be bigger to allow me to work on bigger projects easily. Ideally it would have plenty of drawers underneath to store lots of things that go along with assembling projects from jigs, screws, drills, etc. But then the he/she said became more of a priority and didn't require an assembly table to build and so that plan has been gathering dust in my head all this time.

But I think the time has come to finally get it built and finally finish up the garage woodworking/remodel project I started so long ago. For now, to appease my wife, I'm going to just build the table without all the cabinets and drawers underneath. It will be mobile and provide a great work surface for me to build a porch swing on though I will still have to scrounge here and there for all the required tools. Then I can wait until later when the timing is better to finish up the cabinetry and drawers down below.
