Price the build before you buy a board
These are the materials lists from the plans themselves, priced at typical US home-center prices. Type your own prices to see your total. Hardware and finishes link to Amazon so you can compare.
Estimates are our typical US home-center prices, not Amazon prices; check current prices where you buy. They change with your region and the lumber market. Amazon links are affiliate links: we may earn a small commission at no cost to you.
What you need, nothing more
Straight from the tools sheet in the The Workbench & Tool Wall plans. One cordless kit covers most of it; pick the tier that suits how often you build.

Before you build
How much does it cost to build the Workbench & Tool Wall?
Our estimate for the materials in the bench 6ft is about $220 to $320 at typical home-center prices. Lumber prices vary a lot by region and season, so the plan set includes a workbook where you type your own prices and the total works itself out.
What sizes are included?
This set includes Bench 6ft, Bench 8ft, Station and Tool wall, each with its own drawings, cut list and materials list.
Do I need advanced woodworking skills?
Garage and basement builders, hobby woodworkers and DIYers comfortable with a circular saw and a drill who want a flat, sturdy bench from standard lumber.
Are these engineered plans?
No. They are generic DIY plans, not engineered or stamped drawings. Each member is checked against a stated design load, and the design basis is printed in the plans, but you are responsible for safe construction, local codes and safe use.
How do I get the files?
Right after checkout you land on your download page with the PDF, the workbook and a ZIP of every sheet. Stripe also emails your receipt. Bookmark the page to download again later.
