We don't have a useable basement, or a garage, so we knew that our first project had to be a multipurpose one- both a workbench and a kitchen island. We changed the dimensions of this plan to make it counter height as well as slightly wider and taller. Additionally, we had some concerns about being able to get the finished product out of the kitchen and out of the house if/when we eventually move. So, we made the pieces in the following parts:
-4 legs
-Shelf and shelf supports
-top and top supports
We then proceeded to use 2.5" 16 gauge bolts to bold all the parts together for easy disassembly. We are thrilled with the results!

Looks great!
Great job on your island/work bench! What a smart idea too make it detachable for moving. And your finish looks super!
