Almost done making the frame of my first workbench.
Learn many thing from the process such as:
1) The L ruler is very good as cutting guide.
2) Jigsaw is useful to cut 2x4, my circular saw can't make it.
3) Impact driver is damn noisy but its really powerful to drive big 3 inch screw into the wood.
4) Quickclamps are really very useful, would get another 2 later.
5) Jigsaw dust grain is bigger than circular saw.
6) Now I itch for a table saw. damn...
Sharing some pics:
1st day:
Trying to cut piece of 2x4 doesn't work, even the jigsaw can't cut the deep, so have to cut one by one, then all diffrent length. *facepalm* Spend more time sanding and cutting to align them to correct length.

Day2:
Cutting with a large L ruler as guide that stick on the first cut piece. Must better outcome as those wood now are same length. All required pieces for frame completed.

Day 3:
Assembling the pieces.. Straight rule, L ruler, quickclamp all used.
Drill a guide hole first before screwing in the large screws, then I realized impact driver is so noisy.
Now I am thinking should I add the final long piece at the front of just leave it like this. The frame already feels stable and strong.
Next need to think how to do the table top, end vice, dog holes...
