I think i can live with access from just one side. I'll add a full back and a shelf. Would 1/2" plywood be sufficient enough for a full back or should I go with 3/4" ? Thanks for the help guys. Rob

I built a large work table outside my shed and I thought I'd put enough braces in to hold a battleship BUT it has a full size vice on it and has seen some serious pushing and pulling and now it's a bit wobbly along the length.

If you want to go with ply 3/8th is plenty, even 1/4. But if you don't see any  serious action on it just a couple of diagonals from the leg/shelf to the center in 2x2 3x2 4x2 will do the job whatever you have handy. Of course if it's going against the wall, a couple of rawlbolts will do it.

You've done an excellent job Rob, I just wouldn't like to see it loosen up for the sake of a little bit extra.
