Workbench framing help
 
I know there is a couple framers on here and i am looking for some help building a worktable in my new shop.. I want something big and very sturdy with underneath storage.. Maybe i will get some tool cabinets to go underneath,or just general storage.. I would be nice open underneath so i can sit at it on a stool also...lol..... But here is a pic of a design i am thinking about.. I want to place it along the back wall in the center two bays.. That would make it 24' long and i guess 36" wide would be the trick?? I have a stack of 2x6 12" long left over from the build so i would like to try to use them.. So i was thinking of a 2x6 top with a 2x6 backsplash with supports cut a a 45 going to the bottom band board on the wall.. I am just wanting some input on the spacing of the supports and if yall think this is even strong enough that way??

Personally I would build a freestanding one.

I always liked this setup, for a good sturdy as hell setup. But obviously modify for your needs.

For something of the length you want I would use more bracing than in your drawing. I also like to angle and cross brace the rear. I also would make it a free standing work bench, then anchor it at points to the wall.

Thats how i would build them also, just adjust the measurements for your length/width. I have one built almost identical to that and you can put anything you can fit on there without worry.
