Default Lab Workbench Ideas

I've been using wooden or hardboard doors as the bench top for a very long
time. They come in one standard length but lots of different widths. Some
4x4s for a framework, 2x4s bolted as outlet holders, and you are home free.
If the benchtop gets tattered after a few years, just turn the top over and
you've got a new surface to work on. When that one gets eaten up, a new
door is only a few bucks.

For lightweight equipment, hollow core doors will work, but for a robust
bench a solid core door will last for decades.

I'm not sure if this post is OK for this NG but are there any good plans
and
ideas for an electronics workbench? Perhaps someone built one that they're
proud of. Thanks in advance.
