Workbench

[humble servant]

I was thinking that too. You and I probably sit to work. He probably likes to stand up and walk around while working.

When are you planning to build the bench? I'd like to know how much you end up paying for it. The Sears one is very tempting at $200 with $25 $25 cashback but I don't know what'll happen if I mount a vise on it. And I don't know how to find and mount a panel to hang tools.

I'm not sure, hopefully soon. I'll come back to this thread when I do and post the details.

Seconded. The workbench below is a steal for the price, especially when paired with a 20% off coupon.

I've checked it out in person and it's well built for the price. If I had space and money, I'd retire my old workbench and get this one to replace it.

Put some pegboard on the wall behind your bench and you're good to go.

Nice bench, I like the spot for the vise. What are the 4 sticks on the bench for? Good contender except for the shelf below and may be the height.

This bench is more geared towards woodworking. The sticks are removable and they are called bench dogs.

The bench top has several holes drilled in the top, probably 8-10 sets of holes. Two bench dogs go in the holes on the table, and two go in the wood vise built into the right side of the table. This basically makes a large adjustable vise, that you can use to hold a workpiece with for sanding, routing, gluing, whatever.

I can see how the shelf below might be a deal-breaker. For the height, I would just extend the legs with some wood blocks, stem casters, workbench casters, etc as needed if you just need one particular height. If you need adjustment, then this bench might be more trouble than it's worth if your adjustment needs are beyond an inch or two.
