Finished up the workbench. Made with mostly free 2x4s, with some extra 2x6s purchased.

Half laps everywhere.

Two sjoberg vises because I just have too much money to spend.

Dog holes.

Flip down casters.

Adjustable leveling feet that I designed and 3D printed. You can kick them over with your toe to adjust and get rid whatever wobble appears in that particular spot.

A shelf is a bad idea in a bench - you need easy access to the bottom to adjust clamps all the time. Now an assembly table can benefit from shelves and such - but they don't need the strength this has.

    You should be wary of giving universal "bad idea" advice for under bench storage. I have a split top Rubou with a cabinet underneath that's worked great for over ten years now. There's enough room between the top of the cabinet and bottom of the bench top to let in a clamp head.
