Below, we've got everything you need about crafting and upgrading a Workbench in Valheim.
Building A Workbench
In order to build a Workbench, you will need 10 Wood and a Hammer ( 3 Wood, 2 Stone ).
Wood can be collected via branches or by chopping down trees with a Stone Axe ( 5 Wood, 4 Stone ).

When you have both of the above, you will need to equip the Hammer and RMB to open up the crafting tab.
Here, you'll find the workbench and be prompted to build it.
Covering The Workbench
One thing that makes Valheim somewhat unique is the need for you to provide shelter for your Workbench.
If you're not planning to construct a larger structure, you can use Wood Walls (2 Wood), Thatched Roof ( 2 Wood ), and then a Wood Door ( 4 Wood ) to create a basic hut.

Upgrading A Workbench
If you are looking to upgrade your Workbench in Valheim, all you'll need to do is place the specific items needed nearby the Workbench.
