Assembling an AR using a Workmate or Keter table

I ran into the following work bench and judging from the reviews I think that may be the one I'm gonna get soon. Price point is good as well:

I thought space was an issue? If not then I would get the one from Harbour Freight as I know a lot of peeps who use it for building and reloading.

Go find an industrial junkyard and pick up a Lyon or vidmar work bench.

You can usually get the frame for less then $50 then either pony up for the butcher block top or get two sheet of maple ply wood and screw it down.

best work bench you'll ever own.

Space is a bit of an issue but not a deal breaker. I like the fact that the one from Home Depot folds pretty easily, though I'm not sure if I'd fold it every time since I'll have the vise mounted on it (seems kinda useless).

I did check out the one you mentioned from HF while I was there picking up the vise you recommended .

Thanks!

Sounds like a good idea but I think for the price point, the Home Depot or Harbour Freight (with discount) might be the easiest thing for me to do.

Thanks!

the workmate is sturdier than that HF bench.
