[sdiy] Workbenches?

[harry]

Aw Sh!t....

DIY workbenches ??? REALLY ????

OK... MY workbench is a piece of 3/4" particle board, reinforced
underneath
with some aluminum strip angle... sitting on two "Microwave" carts

(guess this makes me the Geo Metro of the 'door and two file cabinets'
class)

Total work surface area, not covered with past project debris... 1.5 sq
ft.

Ok back to work....
