After we showed you the IKEA Duktig Workbench and this conversion of a nightstand, you said you wanted to see more workbenches.
We found this sturdy and rugged DIY workbench made by mom Chelsea of Finding Joy. Rather than making over an existing piece of furniture, Chelsea put this together from scratch. All of the materials for this project cost her about $20 and she has almost enough to make a second workbench. If you want to know how she did, run over to her blog Finding Joy.

LOVE it! I will make one to my daughter and paint it pinkish. Can I get the measurement please?
my next project! i've been looking for the perfect piece of "junk" furniture...don't worry, i'll document the whole thing and share it on my blog as usual: www.naturallyhandy.com !
Excellent! This is an excellent idea, I love the little tool pouch on the side!
OMG Now I've seen the Ikea one is $129 now it's released in Australia I'm even more interested in DIY'd ones.
