re: Workshop and Tools

I have to admit that I’m a little confused. Is this a workshop cum family room? Anyway, I’m looking forward to your bench build.

My own bench started life as heavy duty trestle table 20 or 30 years ago eventually winding up in a thrift store (without accompanying chairs). I paid the equivalent of $100 for it and made a very solid workbench that I love. I only had to raise the top a few inches to a good working height and mount some vises on it. If I had purchased the materials for it, it would have cost me at least $300 and a whole lot of work. Just an idea if you are still in the planning stages. Here’s a pic.
