Hi
I'm looking to start a business from home that requires workbenches and a darkroom. (Screen printing) because I'm only on a year lease I prefer not to damage the property or garage so I'm looking to build a workbench that I can move around and a darkroom build that I can take apart when not using it or need to move. I've drawn out what kind of workbench I want to go for but I'm unsure how to work out measurements, what tools I need or how to prep to build a diy work bench build.
Any tips or advice for a beginner would be awesome.
Thank you

Thank you Jason
Hopefully i did good! Ill be adding to it as more stuff arrive.
Thanks for the tips all🙂
Fantastic result @Ela, thank you very much for sharing. Excellent usage of the bed slats, it's always great to re-purpose unused items.
We can't wait to see the rest of your project come together, please keep us updated on your progress. If there is anything further I can assist with, please let me know.

hi @MitchellMc
a bit confused here at step 1 cut timber (red high light) how can I cut 2400 x 1200 x 25mm to 2250mm x 1080mm x 30mm ? 😁
typo may be? Thanks
Welcome to the Workshop community @Tobby. Thanks for your question.
In the project, they use 2400 x 1220 x 25mm timber. Simply a typo as you mentioned. We'll have that corrected.
Thanks for your feedback and we look forward to seeing your project!
