Scootertheshooter Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 For $100 get a prefab counter top at lowes. A 2x4 frame doubled up and you have a sturdy bench. Spill oil, hoppes, powder whatever and cleans up nice Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrukSnave Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I am a big fan of butcher block tops I have a couple benches made with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinecone Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 For my bench, I used two layers of 3/4" plywood (birch as I had it) that is glued and screwed together. Then I applied matt white laminate to the top and front edge. The white makes it easy to see things I have dropped and any spilled powder is very obvious.

RyanD1 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Find a bowling alley that is doing a refurbish and try to get hold of a section of lane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelindsey Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) I got this bench at Lowes. Added a 3/4 sheet of plywood to the existing top and mounted my 650 to it. It's a great bench. Edited September 20, 2013 by Mikelindsey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
314shane Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Some of you guys go all out on your work benches. They look awesome. Mine are not nearly that fancy but I'm a function before style type when it comes to that sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
