Thomas got motivated this morning to build the workbench he's been planning for the garage. Carter's enthusiasm for the project came and went throughout the day. First, he was wow-ing us with his ability to use a drill; then he was painting his own woodwork (and then he was sneaking back in the house to watch PBS Kids).
Thomas, Carter, Matthew and I all had a hand in completing the workbench today. And we wrapped up the project just before we had friends over for dinner!

The finished product at the end of the day! (Notice how Thomas and Matthew decided to re-use scrap wood instead of buying shelf brackets? I'm so proud!)

Wow -- I'm impressed. A good job by all participants
Look like you created a good workspace. Are you already planning the next projects you'll tackle from it? In the meantime, I envy your dry, clean garage.
Very nice. A little shallower than you were thinking last weekend or is that just odd perspective in the photo? And how about the charging center over in the corner? Did that work out?
The depth is 24" as discussed, it just looks wonky in the photo. The charging station hasn't been set-up just yet, I need to commandeer a power strip. It is going to work like we planned, sort of. I forgot to leave a space for the cords to go behind the upper left shelf (the vent framing killed the space between the studs that was the plan), but I can always drill a hole or run around the side and zip tie for neatness. We also added another outlet to the left of the bench on the wall (existing covered j-box) so that gives me more options.
