<BR>piece of thin plywood on top of it at the corners. I didn't put a finish on
<BR>it, or paint it. I could drop blobs of solder on it, or hammer, or cut, and
<BR>I didn't have to worry about 'messing up' my workbench. I screwed a power
<BR>strip on the side. After a some years of use (as a workbench and a support
<BR>for my ham radio station), I pried the four corners off, flipped the
<BR>plywood over, and bingo: brand new workbench. It's almost 30 years old,
<BR>and still standing, even though it spent a number of years outside in the
<BR>elements.
