I just ordered one of the Youbo benches. About time someone came up
with a better idea.

I've bought many tools from Lee Valley You can see some of the best by
putting AFD in the search box.

Nice bench...big bucks.

After watching the video, I considered the stuff that I do on my workbench.
As a DIY homeowner, using my workbench for everything from sweating copper
pipe to rewiring a coffee maker to bending plexiglass to fixing a pair of
glasses, a standard horizontal work bench is a much better fit. I do a
little woodworking (built the kid's bunk beds, the fish tank stand, a bunch
of iPad stands, knife holders, etc.) but not enough or the right type to
warrant something like that.

I guess it qualifies as a "better idea" but for a limited number of tasks.
However, if those are the tasks that you do all the time then it makes
sense to purchase one. I hope you enjoy it.
