Over the Xmas holiday I plan on building a work bench and ? across the back of my garage (20 + ft). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)
Thought I would ask you guys to see what you have and or want in you garage. What works what doesn't. What is a good height? Waist high? 30" deep? If you have plans send them on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I am thinking about having a 4' section with a sheetmetal top for doing clean work.

Boeing closed a plant near me about 10 years ago and I able to pick up a 72" wide by 36"deep and 39" high bench. Boeing built motors on it . It has metal angle iron for frame and legs. They line 2X4's across the top on end so the top is 4" thick with a piece of laminate on it. the laminate makes it easy to spin things around on it and with the heavy construction I never worry about it collapsing on me. It is ugly but bullet proof. I have used it for tons of projects. Te only problem is that it weighs a ton when you move it.
I can take pictures of it tonight, if you are interested in building something like it. |
