Description:  Build a sturdy bench.  Size to meet your needs.  As big as 36″ wide x 96″ long.  24″ x 60″ if your space is limited.  The top will be 1-1/2″ thick and will be glued up to be a singe piece.  The legs will be 2×4 verticals and 3 x 3-1/2 horizontals and will be connected with mortise & tenon joints.  Two horizontal stretchers will tie the legs together and will connect to the legs with 7/16″ dia. threaded rods.

A vise can be added by bolting/screwing to the underside of the top.  A shelf over the horizontals is an easy add on.
