Dear, the parts I just sold paid for that part ;)  Group: Members Posts: 1,568 Joined: 26-December 02 From: Williamsburg, VA Member No.: 16  |
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.

Kerry,
My dad used to make a workbench in his garages when I was a kid, so when I bought my house he and I put one in my garage. They are very simple and VERY STRONG (oh and cheap). You use 2x4s and 2x6s to triangulate the bench to the back wall of your garage. I'll see if I can find a pic or two and post it here. |
