After 6 months working off some plywood on some sawhorses, I decided to dedicate a day to making an actual workbench, at a decent working height, primarily for the sake of my back (working off 600mm height was not the smartest).
I found a company that does knock of MFT table tops for a fraction of the price so thought I might as well base it around that. It's made from a single sheet of plywood, and some scrap pieces of OSB and MDF I have been hoarding. Fastening together with wood glue and screws (except for the top which I didn't glue so I can replace it in the future).
Must say it came out better than expected, rock solid. Shame my garage floor is on the wonk, (nothing a wedge cant fix).
Just need to order some workbench wheels for it so I can take it outside for messy work, and also use it as a cart for ferrying sheet goods from the car back to the garage.
Ta. Yeah have been thinking about those, but the problem is that inside the garage and outside it have very different levelling issues, so I'll always have to be bending down and tinkering. Really would like to find a solution that can be operated while standing upright.
