See?* The fishing works.* ;-)

I like it.* A lot!* How do you deal with cutting the top of the bench?

I built my cutting bench on a solid-core door with a sheet of 3/4" MDF
just sitting on top, held in place by side rails 1/4" shy of the
surface.* I'm not short on space so portability wasn't important. It's
on casters but it never moves more than a foot or two.

Wasn't it you that bought that goofy accordion folding work table "the
centipede" I think it was called?** Everyone got all over the Comet
cause he thought it looked gimmick-ee.

Anyway, this thing Leon built I've seen on YouTube before.* Looks ok
but takes up lots of floor/wall space.


When not in use and being stored it has a foot print of 20"x17".* You
probably take up more space when you are staining in the shop.


From the picture and your comments, you say it has a full sheet of
plywood on top. To me, a full sheet of plywood wouldn't fit on anything
20x17"?


Picture this, the work bench is "2" sections, side by side. Each is 96"
long, 20" wide, and 8.5" tall. If I stand both on end, 96" tall, with
the bottom of one against the top of the other the foot print is 20"x17".




Anyway, it looks OK if you need it, and have space for it.* Kevin has
space for it, I personally don't really need it, nor have any space for
it if I did need it.


With that comment, I would recommend that you not build one for yourself.
