Workbench countertop from T&G flooring
I just finished clearing out a workarea alongside my parked cars in the
garage, (there's an area about 20 x 12 open space parallel to the parking area), with four overhead cabinets and three commercial (metal) workbenchs lined up end to end. For appearance and convenience, I'm planning on adding a countertop to the three workbenches to make everything look more like one unit. I have enough left-over flooring (unfinished t&g Brazilian Cherry) to do the entire top and my plan is to just glue everything up, miter the corners and perhaps rout out a small depression each side to keep anything from rolling off, and securing it as one long countertop to each of the three workbenches. When done, it would look a little like a miniature one-piece bowling alley covering all three workbenches. I've never seen anyone do anything like this, but surely using t&g flooring for this isn't a new idea. It doesn't look like a difficult task. Have I overlooked something, and are there some hidden reasons why this shouldn't be done? Regards -- |
