That&#8217;s my new workbench, ready to use. A friend who loves woodworking and had all of the necessary tools and know-how came over and built it for us, for which I am extremely grateful. The post in the middle is sunk into the garage floor and filled with concrete to protect the back wall. so we had to design around it&#8230; Made for quite a tall workbench, but that&#8217;s actually quite nice for the finer detail work I&#8217;m generally doing.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Bob also designed it with a replaceable table-top&#8230; the hardboard layer on top is attached with carpet tape, and there&#8217;s a hole drilled through the bottom layers to allow you to push through and pop out the top once it&#8217;s beat up &#8211; there&#8217;s a spare one ready leaning up against the wall.<\/p>\n<p>The bench is actually not quite finished &#8211; there&#8217;s going to be a shelf over those bottom supports, and some edging on the table-top&#8230; but it&#8217;s usable right now, and use it I have. You may understand even more of why I&#8217;m so excited about this, if you see my previous &#8220;workbench&#8221; set-up:<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"The old &quot;workbench&quot; by Shannon Henry, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/spiralshannon\/3273125682\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"The old &quot;workbench&quot;\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3304\/3273125682_7c64ca2c2d.jpg\" alt=\"The old &quot;workbench&quot;\" hspace=\"3\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" align=\"left\" \/><\/a>An old Ikea bookcase that had been warped while my stuff was in storage for a year&#8230; it couldn&#8217;t stand up straight, but flattens itself under its own weight when placed on its side. Seating provided by the upside-down 5 gallon bucket. This had the additional drawback that it left me below the line-of-site of the motion detector that&#8217;s wired to our garage overhead light, so I had to wave my arms around every so often or I&#8217;d suddenly be in pitch darkness.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, now that I&#8217;m done showing off the workbench, I&#8217;m going to get back to using it.
