Default Looking for Workbench Help

Have you looked at the adjustable shop stand from Rockler?

Personally I would just build it out of 2x4s. Two 2x4s glued together
make an excellent leg, and if you make some cuts on one you get easy
half lap joints for your side frames. If you really wanted to put it
together fast you could connect your stretchers with pocket screws.
I'll bet you could build the whole thing faster than you could put in
all the damn bolts on those metal stands if you put your mind to it.
And you could buy the pocket hole jig if you didn't have one already
and still come out ahead cost wise.
