Storage-Focused Workbench Plans

A Dedicated Workspace for Making

The Maker’s Bench was originally designed at the request of a stained glass artist who needed a sturdy work surface paired with generous, well-organized storage. The result is a versatile workbench that works equally well for a wide range of creative pursuits.

This bench is ideal for stained glass artists, crafters, candle makers, and anyone who benefits from having tools and materials organized within arm’s reach.

Large Work Surface with Integrated Storage

The Maker’s Bench provides:

• Work surface: 96" × 24"
• Working height: Standard 36"

Storage is built directly into the design, with cubbies and shelves located both above and below the work surface. This keeps frequently used tools, supplies, and materials accessible while maintaining a clean, efficient workspace.

The design favors stability, organization, and everyday usability over portability or folding.

Why This Bench Works

• Generous work surface: Plenty of room for detailed projects
• Integrated storage: Keeps tools and materials organized and visible
• Purpose-built: Designed for focused, repeat work
• Straightforward to build: Uses common, inexpensive materials
• Versatile: Suitable for many types of making and hobby work

This is a bench meant to stay put and support ongoing creative work.
