2x4 Basics AnySize Workbench Kit with ShelfLinks, Model# 90164MI

Use the proper wood screws that come with the kit. It should be 2½ or 3" screws. I found out that my were missing. But I called customer service and I had my screws in less than six (6) days.

It comes with all the screws needed.

use screws to attach the legs to the 2X4s.

Screws are only way to go, easly stalled and makes for a real tight job. Use a power drill tool with a screw attachment

Comes with pretty good quality screws to put it all together. It even comes with the screws to use with the shelf holders.

Screws is the way to go. There are plenty in the kit and the holes are pre-drilled at the proper angles.

comes with 5 inch wood screws

This product should be assembled using screws.

No lumber comes with it.

No, you will have to purchase those

You have to purchase the wood seperately, you get to choose the width and depth by what size wood you use for the supplied legs.

The 2x4's, tops and shelving did not come with my kit. What you get is only the parts that will hold the 2x4's and tops and shelving together. The kit will include all of the screws, parts, and legs, but no wooden parts.

No. You get to provide what you need in the way of lumber to build the custom size work bench you require.

No wood comes with the package, just the black resin parts shown in the photo, along with screws and a few clamp type devices.

No 2x4s

Lumber not included.

The four basic legs, the six shelf horizontals, all the screws and bolts necessary and two light vices which may be positioned anywhere you need them on the corners. All you need to supply are 2x4's and plywood for the shelves and top.

You get the four sturdy plastic legs. You also get the 6 pieces needed for making the upper shelves as well as all of the screws and hardware needed for assembly.

I used a powerdrill for all of the screws.

The four main legs, enough screws plus some to attach to the 2x4's. Two clamps with screws to attach at the legs. 3 single arms and one double arm to hang tools where ever you mount them. Finally the parts for the shelves that they picture on the table is 6 brackets and the screws to attach them together,

Mine came with the legs, brackets for back shelves, a plastic vise, and screws. All I had to provide was the wood.

Information on the contents of the 2X4 Anysize Workbench Kit # 90164.
For the main bench, the screws to attach the legs to the 2X4s are included. Also attached to the legs on the outside are two small plastic vise-like holders; and 4 other plastic type holders that tools could be hung on, icluded with the mounting hardware. Finally, there are six plastic holders for 2X4s to make three upper shelves from 2X4s that are fastened to the top of the main bench (you can see them on the bench image if you look close). The screws for them are also part of the package. Since you determine the size of the bench/shelves based on the size of the 2X4s you are using, you can control how big you want to build.

legs, 6 brackets for making back shelf and all hardware. Plus kit to make 2 vices on bench.

In the box are the 4 legs for the main unit, additional legs for a smaller shelf unit, several extra items to mount on the side (Tool holder, plasitic grip, etc) and all the necessary screws. The instructions were very clear and easy to follow. Well worth the price.

Aside from the four legs, it also comes with 6 shelf brackets (seen holding the shelving on the top of the bench in then picture), two work holders (clamps) and all necessary hardware to build the bench. All you need to supply is the lumber.

All the hardware is included.

Black wood screws that looked almost like sheet rock screws. they were 3 1/2 inches long

All hardware is included. Just need a drill with a phillips screw bit and a saw to cut lumber to size.

In addition to the 4 support legs, the kit included a bag of 3" x #10 flat Phillips screws. An electric saw and drill driver was all I needed. (With pre-cut plywood, it could be done with a handsaw).

It comes with all the hardware,,

I used 3" deck screws. They go in at an angle so it won't go through your 2X4s.

The Workbench kit will include 52 pieces of the #10 wood screws that are two inches long for the bottom portion and will include 78 pieces of the #10 wood screws that are one inch long for the shelving system.

No it does not come with leveling feet. But like Joe007 said you can use hardware from a hardware store. Level feet with Tee nuts. Put a 3" piece of 2x4 on the inside bottom. Bolt or wood screw the block of the wood to the leg. Then drill a hole through the bottom of the leg and the wood, insert the Tee nut and then screw in the leveling feet.

No, that is something that you would have to adjust with blocks if your floor is not level

no

Unfortuniately, the legs do not have levelers on the bottom of them. However, you can purchase devices at your local hardware store that can help with leveling if necessary.

No, but I bet you could work out something with some scrap lumber to get a level bench.

No. Mine was a bit uneven when moved into place and I placed a small wood shim under one leg and that fixed it.

The workbench kit does not have feet for leveling.

yes you can.. I used the remaining 3/4 plywood, but im feeling how sturdy it was I and how much i've already put on the shelf shows no bowing of 32''s tall 2x4s

I just built mine this past weekend and I don't see how the thickness would effect anything.

You can use any material you desire. You actually mount the top to the 2x4 supports that are connected to the resin legs. In my case I used 2x10's so they extended up past the top of the resin legs and were level to mount the plywood to that. Good luck. You will like this unit.

you could use something thicker,shouldnt throw anything off,It would go above the top of the legs but wouldnt make any difference as far a 2x4 placement

You can certainly use the butcher block. There will however be a protrusion above the 2x4 kit legs braces, but it won't have anything to do with the stability. I use 3/4 ply (I have 2) and both tables are very solid. If you have surplus butcher block, then use that, but I would not spend the money unless you have a specific need.

As long as you use the 2 x 4 for the framing you should be able to use whatever you want for the shelving. A thicker shelf would obviously give you less room between the shelves.

You could probably add some casters to the bottom 2x4's but they'd have to be pretty tall. Don't think you could get them in the corners though.

You could add a plywood bottom and mount casters to that very easily.

Previous answers are clear, it is do-able. If you do it, make sure you get casters with foot-locks on at least two of the legs, you don't want the bench moving when you are working on it. Also be aware, most work benches run from 33" to 36" high. This bench is already at the upper (normal) limit, and casters would add another 2-to-4 inches (depending on the wheel size). That might make it too high for comfortable work.

Yes, casters could be installed at the corner legs to make the beanch rollable

the bottom of each leg is a corner of plastic. If I wanted to add wheels, I would mount a 4x4 chunk to make the leg base square, then I would mount a heavy duty caster. I think this could be done easily and cheaply.

While it may be possible to add wheels to this bench, we do not offer a kit that is specifically made for this purpose.

I built mine without it. The only thing that's missing as far as stability is concerned is one 2x4. I still put 2x4's across the back and sides but not the front. Doesn't seem to effect anything.

Not at all, I am not using the middle shelf and it is a tank.

Not at all. the top platform and the lower shelf will be more than sufficant to make it very sturdy

I left the middle shelf out. I wanted to store some bigger tools like my table saw underneath. I did mount the 2X4 to the sides and the back which would have supported the middle shelf; I figured this was needed for stability. In this configuration the bench very stable. I have used it daily for about 2-3 months.

The staff answer is correct, but it doesn't really answer your question. The middle deck adds something to the lateral stability of the table, so it won't wiggle so much side to side, front to back. But if you really want to stabilize the bench, with or without the middle deck, get 1/4 in CDX plywood and fasten it to the 2x4's on the back and sides with several 1 in wood screws. Cut out the corners to get around the leg supports, and cover the entire openings. This gives you a rock-solid bench. I also add overlapping front doors made of masonite on my benches, sliding in cheap plastic channels, which almost eliminates dust getting on the tools and supplies on the sub-decks (I tack strips of wood on both sides of the lower channels to keep them from being destroyed by my clumsiness in taking out or putting away my tools).

The manufacturer recommends this workbench be built with the middle shelf.

I built mine 2' deep and it works great for me.

It is unless you are using it to be able to walk around. 2'5" would be ideal, I'm a shorter guy and built mine 3' deep. If I were to build it again I'd go 2'5" deep - as it is hard to reach the shelving unit and some items on my pegboard back. I do have plenty of work space however including a vice and grinder on each corner.

3ft deep works nicely

The ideal front to back measurement is whatever best suits your needs. I made my bench 4'x8' to fit a standard sheet of plywood and that provided me with enough work surface for my needs. When I build my next bench for use as a reloading bench, it will be considerably narrower. Probably on the order of 2 to 2 1/2'.

I used three feet deep and it works well. I have pegboard on the back above the bench and 3 feet allows me to reach things easily and still provides a good size work surface.

The depth is really up to you, but most customers are stating that 2 1/2 feet to 3 feet depth is ideal.

I bought a workbench a few years ago the depth of it
is 24'' the lenght of it is 47 1/4'' it's ok but i'm building
one with 2x4 basics that will be 7 foot long and 25''
deep and i would like to put two drawers under the top.
really it's just what you want to do with it build it to make you happy.

I went with 2'

2'5"

Installed against a wall, 24/26 inches deep is ideal

I am happy with mine as 40" deep, I have seen many workbenches @ 36" deep. I made mine a bit deeper so I could put equipment against the back and on the shelf and still have enough room to work on projects in front.

The workbench can be made up to any size between 8' long and 4' wide to meet your storage and workbench needs.
