The "Next" Workbench - I Think I'm Done

The example I worked from used cleats down the length of the front and rear rails. Having had some experience with MDF sagging I chose front to back supports. There are four front to back supports 1 1/2" x 3" on edge making a total of six supports including the leg pieces. The trick here is to miss the dog holes ;-)

Pocket holes and glue to attach at the front and rear. Recessed 1/4" lags to secure the top (not glued). This method of top attachment allowed me to shim the top (like you might do with a router table) and get it as flat as possible.

That's a good design feature Glenn, & will let you re-shim or adjust the top later, should any of the crossmembers or other parts ever warp or sag. Excellent idea.:thumb: Thanks for the info and the Picture.
