I built a 2'X4' bench with a 3/4"plywood top and a 1/2" plywood shelf for my RL550B using 2X4's and Simpson Strong-Tie(TM) connectors. Total cost was $51 including tax. I bought the plywood pre-cut so I could get everything in my car, but the cost difference between the full-sheet and the pre-cut was minimal. The Strong-Ties came in a kit with screws and plans to build a number of different benches for $24. It's stronger, lighter and more stable than a friend's bench built with 4X4's and 2X6's(and cost half as much to build).
