I keep thinking about getting hold of a broken chest freezer, purely for
the metal panels that I could use from the lid and front to use as tops
for the workbench. Just one of those jobs that I haven't got around to

After some 35 years recovered top of bench (itself built from scrapped
shipping pallets in the 1970s) with some scrapped 3/8ths plywood.

Then painted it with some leftover paint. Works as well as it ever did.
