Years ago, I worked with a guy named Pete who brought along a cool little bench like this to every trim job. He used it for everything—to stand on, cut on and, of course, to plant his butt on during lunch. After 25 years, I decided to build my own version from 3/4-in. plywood. The bench only takes a couple of hours to cobble together. Give it a whirl; you'll use it more than you think.

Build this handy box from 3/4-in. plywood and 1 5/8-in. screws. You'll be amazed by how useful it will be.
