I made a good sturdy work bench thanks to builders going on smoko...I mean from acquired materials...The only cost involved was buying the screws to put it together. The legs are 4B4, the bench top is Marine ply care of my friendly neighbourhood SES (I was a member then) friends and the bracing is 2B4.
I didn't put any shelving underneath as I needed it to be open space for large...Junk! Don't talk to me about it, or I'll just get angry with the wife all over again ;D.
I have my drill press on one end, my benchgrinder/beltsander at the other. My vice is bolted on a crappy old bench that was already here when we moved in, and all my knife making supplies are on the same crappy bench. I would take photo's, but it's a bloody brothal down there. I'll have to tidy up one day...And so will the wife...Don't start me! I'll get stroppy with her on that point too!

P.S A real bloke would have built his own bench Aaron! Where did you get them from? I need a bench for me lathe
