Just-Right Workbench
A stout worksurface, plenty of storage, and it all fits into a compact footprint. There's a lot to love about this eye-catching workbench.
Looking for a space-saving workbench that doesn't compromise on strength or function? This step-by-step woodworking plan delivers a perfectly proportioned workbench built for serious woodworking in tight spaces. At just 56" long, the Just-Right Workbench is ideal for small shops, garages, or multi-purpose spaces, offering a solid, stable platform for handwork, power tools, and joinery.
Unlike oversized benches that dominate floor space, this compact design focuses on the essentials: a rock-solid base, a thick, flat benchtop, and versatile workholding with two easy-to-install vises. You’ll also find smart options for built-in storage and the refined look of quality craftsmanship. Made with cherry legs and a hard maple top, it’s as attractive as it is functional — proof that small shop furniture can still look great.
This bench is ideal for woodworkers who value performance but have limited space. Whether you're working in a basement, garage, or shared area, this compact woodworking bench gives you all the features you need — without wasting a square inch.
