I am told that "pressure treated" lumber can't be safely used indoors especially in the winter, it wlll give off toxic fumes when the furnace comes on. I wanted to use it so it wouldn't rot from any moisture present, to make a shell for a workbench for my basement.
i want to just make a basic decline ab bench i just want to know what kind of wood should i use so it wont fall as soon as i sit on it.
heres a link to the one i want to make.

thanks
I'd like to build a work bench in my garage. I don't want one that has a peg board in the back, but I'd want to have probably two shelves below the work surface. Where can I find a good design that I could use or alter?
I have a HUGE slash pile that I want to turn into furniture and usable items. I'm a big fan of rustic / lodge furnishings and decor, and would like to try my hand at making some myself. What kind of tools do you recommend I buy? What other supplies? Until I know whether I can do this, I don't want to invest in expensive power tools or a workbench. Just the basics. I have a hammer and screwdrivers, and that's about it. Ideas?? Also, what tool would I use to scratch designs into the wood?
I'm kitting out a workshop for my fiancee as a surprise when he moves to his new home. He wants to "tinker" mechanically, not woodworking, more car fix up or alternative energy creations. What would you put in his new workshop for tools? Thanks to all in advance!
3 great answers! Thank you everyone... I'll do the workbench, the lighting, the shop vac, and then price out the rest of the items on the first answer list and give him a gift card to get them. Wonderful, thank you everyone!
