To start construction on your movable bench, first match the wood type to your deck, or for extra style, choose a wood that compliments your deck.

Master skills, get tool recommendations, and, most importantly, build something of your very own. A DIY workbench can be utilitarian and thrown together or it can be beautifully handcrafted.
