I built a work bench years ago (~5' wide, 30" deep). Basic 2x4
framing and 3/4" plywood desk top with ESD shelf on top of that, +
3-4 shelves above desktop for equipment location.
One thing I wanted was a mechanism to raise/lower the entire desk,
from say 28" to maybe 36".
I looked at some hydraulic mechanisms that would do the job, but
crazy expensive.
Any one have pointers to more cost effective resources? Pointers
appreciated.


Can you cannabalize an old barber chair?

Now that....................is creative thinking.



First you have to cannibalize the old barber... I haven't seen a
barber close up in this century but I assume they're not doing too well
these days.
