The picture shows 7" legs which I cut off even to the bottom shelf so accomadate the height of the casters. Waiting on the 1st of the month to get the plywood I need for the top and bottom shelf and the casters. The bottom shelf will be just regular old plywood.

Marlin, can you explain the purpose of the inlays and what look to be dadoes?

No dados or inlays here is the plan I work from except mines a little bigger and I used 2x6s for the top bench support running down the sides.

Sorry, I was asking about the fabric cutting boards, not the workbench....

[marlin adams]

LOL sorry the inlays are for measurement, when you buy fabric by the bolt the width are at 60 and 45 inchs folded in half so 30" and 22 1/2". The inlays which are rosewood are at 30 and 22 1/2 inchs so when they lay the bolt down they know what size it is. The silver are aluminum 1/2" angle layed into the wood for cutting guides and I set them in where my sister or mom wanted to cut to.

Thanks! Not being of the sewing persuasion I was curious about those features.
