I've been doing some reading about the proper workbench height. A lot
of sources say that for "general work" the proper height is right at

If you were going to build a general purpose workbench for a new
homeowner, would you follow the wrist height rule? The person I have
in mind is not a woodworker. She knows which end of a screwdriver to
use, but she might not always use the right bit. ;-)

The workbench is done. My daughter drove at least 80 of the 100+
screws used. I took over when her hand started cramping up. ;-)

It turns out that my guess at a good height for her 5'-1" frame was
just right, at l east for now. The work surface is at 32".

She is pretty proud of her handy work.

Thanks for all the ideas.



Good job to you both!

Glad you took a picture of it clean. It will never be that way again.
