Default Work Benches

I am going to finish my work bench this week, I hope. I have the frame done, just need to order the top. I am going with 1/4" or 3/8" plate depending on cost. Let's see some pictures of your work benches.

All mine are piled up like John's.....but one is simply a household door with the hinges screwed to the wall and two 2x4s for legs.

I plan on redoing the interior of my pole barn this summer. I need ideas! My Dad built this barn in 1973 and rigged up what he called a "temporary" work bench. It is still there! I bought the place from the estate a few years back and want to make the barn a very practical Cub Cadet fun center..including a....Cub Cadet themed bar!

Mines a mess too! Need the clean up and put some stuff away! I'm bad about that. I'd go with 1/4" plate. 1/8" if you want. That's my 2cts!

Mine is cluttered as well, but I'm not ashamed. The top is made from solid core doors I "salvaged" from a local school being renovated (I pulled them from the dumpster before I left the jobsite). It is very solid and takes a beating without ringing like pounding on a metal table. I have a separate 2'x3' piece of 1/4" steel I set on sawhorses for welding projects. I would end up setting the clutter on fire if my main work bench was also my welding table.

Mine has a solid core door for the top. I also added 1/4" Masonite on top of that. When the hardboard gets nasty enough, I'll replace it. Works well.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
