Should close escrow on a *forclosure in a few days and need to build
out my 2 car garage shop. Besides pulling in all my machinery and
tools from all the various shops an other locations they currently
live, I need to build a shop table.

I am going for a 4 x 8 flat surface. I'll build storage under it as
needed and I will make sure it is movable. I am thinking of a
derivation of this design. Anyone else have design ideas or input?

Flat and mobile as Swing suggests, but what I did, was made 3 units 2
feet wide by 4 feet long boxes open one side, which, with removable
pin barn-style hinges, can be made into a 2 x 12, 4 x 4 or 4 x 6
movable tables. The bottoms will have cabinet doors attached to them
as well.
I used casters that not only lock the wheels, but the caster itself vs
the carcass as well.
The casters were $ 7.00 apiece and each 'box' was made out of one 4x8
sheet of melamine clad 5/8" MDF which I bought for 9 bucks apiece..
(that was a drive-by gloat, btw)
I can wheel 4 sheets of solid surface around the shop on one of them
without effort... that is over 600 pounds plus whatever tools are
stored inside.
