[QUOTE="W. Mark Hellinger, post: 43472, member: 692"] Re: Work Bench Help No doubt suitable workbench sizing (dimensions) is dependent on the likely applications. For general purpose shop applications 32" - 34" deep (front to back) seems to work well for me. Much deeper than that and the back of the bench tends to develop into acting as a shelf... breeding ground for clutter. Much shallower than that seems too narrow to accomodate "laying your work out". Some of my handiest "work benches" are old video monitor road cases. The cases are approx. 21" cube and roll around on 3 1/2 Coleson casters... work height is approx. 26". These are handy for lots of stuff. I store my rarely used test gear in them, and use them as a roll-around surface for all sorts of stuff, everything from a place to lay tools (rather than on a fender or core support) to getting "something" up off the ground so I can work on "it" from every side without bending over... working on small motors for example... to being a handy impromptu beverage & snack holder sitting next to a lawn chair out in-front of the shop while enjoying a nice sunset.
