I'm in the planning stages of building a simple workbench, and I'm a bit stuck on the bench top itself.
One of my goals for this bench is to be able to disassemble it as much as possible, to make it easier to get into and out of places where having a bench would be handy. Most of the plans I've seen involve laminating boards together to create the bench surface, which I'd like to avoid as it becomes a rather large block that can't further disassembled.
Would it be feasible to use breadboard ends to hold together a bench top made of 2x4s set on end?
It would look something like this (the picture shows it at 1 ft wide, this may end up being wider):
The weight of the bench top itself would be resting on another couple of 2x4s sitting inside what's basically a large dado cut in the bottom, anchored with through mortise:
This should trap all but the outer two 2x4s, which would be captured by the breadboard ends.
Is this a viable way to hold together a workbench top?
