[QUOTE="Tim Weaver, post: 43360, member: 317"] Re: Work Bench Help I don't have any suggestions on size or layout, but when I needed a bench in my garage I used an old kitchen table. I cut it to width and attached the cut side to the wall. I then extended the legs to a comfortable standing-height. It came out great and is much beefier than a plywood topped bench. This is the standard table you buy at places like Sam's or target. The thing I like about it is that it's made from strips of hardwood pressed together on edge. It's about 2" thick, and has nicely finished edges and is already poly'd. I used the cutoff piece to make a matching shelf that's about 8" deep. You can usually find these tables for pennies on craigslist or a used furniture store. If they are scratched up you can get them cheaper. [/QUOTE]
