So I am looking to build a workbench but it will be absolutely nowhere near as nice as @Mark Johnson's. (https://ncwoodworker.net/forums/index.php?threads/building-a-workbench.72786/)
I have a small shop - 10x20, so I am thinking I would like to build 2 narrow benches that could be pulled together to use as one large bench. I have not settled on my final length and width, but am thinking about 18-24" wide by 6-8' long. It will ultimately depend on what else I put in the shop.
So with that said, I found a design online for a bench that you can pull together. He has the cut list, instructions, etc.
What has me a bit perplexed is how sturdy and/or strong it will be. He essentially doubles up 2x6's for the legs, BUT they don't touch the floor.
At this time, I am not going to be doing any planing or furniture making. This bench will be primarily for me to use to assemble some things or cut ply using a circular saw, etc.
So am I way off base on my thinking that having wheels as the main contact point to the shop floor is a problem?
A potential solution: I have seen some wheels that engage the floor only when you press the lever down, then when you move the lever up, the wood legs are what contacts the ground.
