I am working on a small 12x20 shop area. Waiting on a garage door now should be a couple of weeks. But I will need a small workbench for in it. I was thinking a small heavy duty fixed bench and a small rolling assembly table. I saw a plan on line for a workbench that does not look to difficult to build but would have some storage space. The plans were just that no directions - apparently they came from the April 2009 Workbench Magazine. I get Shopnotes but not Workbench. The plans have abbreviations like 8x2 1/2 FHWS - which is some type of bolt or screw just not sure what FHWS stands for. That is probably in the article from the April 2009 issue. Here is a link to the plans:

Has anyone built this bench and if so how do you like it?
Based on the experience here does this look like a fairly easy build - for say an advanced beginner type? Does it look like it would be fairly sturdy? I will work mostly with machines (currently no power) - not hand tools so would this bench be a good choice?
I also need ideas for like a small rolling assembly table - maybe like 4' long. So if someone has some ideas please advise.
Thanks,
Ken
