Ok I am tired of waiting for my Dad to clear out the area where the work bench is located in the basement that I am not able to do myself. So I plan on making myself a small bench that I can move around when the need arises. Thinking a bench two feet square with the legs made of pressure treated 4x4' s cut to length. Pressure treated 2x4' s bracing the legs. I was planning to use some outdoor 3/4 inch oak plywood for the top but, is one piece going to be enough or do I need to double and glue two pieces together to make a top 1 1/2 inch thick? I will be putting a bench plate on the top as well. Lumber will cost about $30 plus tax so allot cheaper than buying one ready made. Saves me about $40 counting the plate. So how thick is thick enough when talking about bench tops? How thick is yours and what is it made of?
