A great workbench is essential to getting science and electronics work done!
Here is great project I saw from MCM TV2. I was surprised how easy this was to do.
I went to home depot, they were great about cutting the wood to approximate lengths to fit in the car.
Here is my design. Used 1″ overhang each side for clamping; 3′ x 5′ table top.

2 of 2×4 x 58″ (base, x)
2 of 2×4 x 31″ (base, y)

23/32 plywood sheet, 3′ x 5′
Purchased:

Home Depot will cut pieces for you to fit in your car! This one is for cutting the big sheets:
This one is for cutting the 2×4 and 4×4
It is helpful to pre-mark everything. Don’t push for exact cuts here as they are busy, just get in ballpark and make the precise cuts at home on your own time.
Getting pieces set up:
