    Default My $15.50 workbench

    I needed a workbench for the misc auto/electrical work I do not to mention the woodworking so I went to lowes and picked up 13 8 foot wall studs and went to town. It did take about 25 screws which might have been the single most expensive purchase but I am very pleased with it! I kept the top 8 feet to give plenty of room for multiple projects. It stands the same height as my tablesaw when I get the casters on.


    Its not completely finished yet, I need to take a rasp too it but ive just been busy as hell lately!

    Way to go. Looks like a bit of value there.

If he gets it without working for it; he's a parasite; and if he accumulates it after a life time of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out of life."

    afx, you wouldn't do it for $15.50 over here. In fact you would most probably be struggling to do it for twice that.
