first welcome to Lumber Jock enjoy and have fun while you hang out on this corner

you will see they will help you all they can
what kind of toolbox are you talking about and what kind of bench
big question yes

I gess the toolbox shuold be sturdy but simple as possible take a look under projects fane
and toolbox tags and you will find a bunch of them from simple to masterpieces
the same goes for workbenches
i will recoment one made of plywood or two by fours as the first workbench
later when you have found out what you want to work with in the future
you can build your advanced dream bench
when you look at toolboxes and benches then scroll down to coments
you will often find more knowledge between them too maybee a few other pictures
often has the project poster made a blog too about the build
the same goes for the comments there
good luck
Dennis
