Where are there plans on the Web for building a huge work table out of wood?

Question

I'm having trouble finding such plans. Plans for them (or advertisements for commercially available tables made of wood or steel) all seem to be for little bitty work tables no larger than four feet long by two and a half feet wide, *and* the makers seem to think they are "large" tables.

No, no, no. "Huge", then, by which I mean eight to ten feet long by three to four feet wide by maybe three feet tall. I mean the kind of work table that occupies the free space against a whole wall inside a residence and is able to hold up a baby elephant if it doesn't perform a Scottish jig on top.

A plan that used simple but strong wood decking screws and "two by fours" and plywood would be ideal. The table doesn't have to be pretty at all, just effective, not do I mind a lot of pre-drilling, which should be done anyway to prevent cracking.

Answer 1

Seems a 4x8 would be too big as a work bench, but Use a 4x8 plywood. use 2x4 as a frame under the top. Then use 2x4 for the legging. simple and fast. The table should not be any higher then 3 feet high. Good luck.

Answer 2

I have a 12' work table with a radial arm saw in the middle.

Like the guy above said 2x 4 frame and 3/4 inch plywood
