[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 3102171, member: 27307"] There are SO many diverse methods and materials, books can be written about just shop and gunsmithing workbenches. If you are DIY person there are no holds barred, the world and the design of your personal space for working is nearly limitless. 2x4's and plywood can be made to reflect whatever ideas you have for convenience and efficiency. If you have ideas of a better looking environment, I suggest getting a couple of books or looking online at least for less rustic looking designs. Simply adding pre-made counter tops covered in laminate are a much better surface to work on and easier to install and maintain especially with a backsplash. On the other hand, you can buy several bench designs from Costco and Seville Classics with the only drawback being that 'some assembly required' can be a little daunting. Most come in stainless steel or powder coated with nice butcher block tops. I have several of the Seville benches either 6' long but a few that 4' long to fit certain spaces or uses. You can find these with or without wheels depending on your needs. I have transitioned to the use of stainless steel benches and tops for a couple of work areas. I buy silicone mats from Amazon to cover them as well as a couple of the butcher block tops. No dents in the work surface, softer and they are easy to cleanup. I'm not a cabinet maker and I don't want the 2x4 look anymore so I do some searching and looking to find what can work just as well or better. I use the wire shelving for storage which are available at different heights, widths and depths., easy to assemble. There are covers available also in case you choose to hide some of the potential mess. This what most of us strive to attain: [ATTACH type="full" alt="1715264574343.jpeg"]570463[/ATTACH] But with a little more money and effort: [ATTACH type="full" alt="1715264649648.jpeg"]570464[/ATTACH] Or... [ATTACH type="full" alt="1715264825622.jpeg"]570467[/ATTACH] Enjoy the process! 😊 [/QUOTE]
