How to Build a Painting Bench

Introduction

A good painter's bench must do three things well.

1. It's got to be light enough to carry around the whole house.
2. It's got to be strong enough to stand on.
3. It must be useful around the shop for other purposes.

This one does all that. Plus, it's a perfect seat for taking a break!

Made from readily available stock found at any home center, this painter's bench can be made in an afternoon. If you've got a house to paint, do yourself a favor and build this bench first. Here's how.
