In this article, the Wizard will tell us how to make an inexpensive workbench for the workshop.

Initially, materials from wood were considered, but since he is not a carpenter and he does not have many tools for woodworking, he decided to assemble a workbench from chipboard. Of course, such material loses in front of the board for durability, but the plus is the cost and ease of assembly. Particleboard master purchased in the store in advance cut to size.
