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.

Cheers

solid wood doors make great bench tops.....

I got a few from a building remodel...something like 4'x8' in size.....so heavy I had to drag the darn things out of my truck into the garage....

sometimes the home repair places will have returned or damaged doors at a deep discount...don't be afraid to ask for even more of a discount (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Once a door is damaged they'll just about give it to ya.
