Super Simple Shop Workbench Build: Here's What You Need...and How To Make One! (Anyone Can Do It)

What happens here

After assembling the wooden frame of the workbench, the creator decides to paint the legs and the underside of the top deck and the bottom shelf. He uses a can of Rust-Oleum Gloss Black Protective Enamel paint and a paintbrush to apply a consistent coat. He mentions that the glossy, oil-based paint will make the surface easier to wipe clean. The top surface of the workbench is left unpainted, as the plan is to add an 1/8-inch thick steel sheet as the final work surface.

Goal: Protect and aesthetically finish the wooden parts of the workbench
