Slightly O/T - Workbenches...

[Mcalvert]

My old wooden workbench is falling apart so in preparation for the rebuilding of H5 URF, it's time for a replacement (Tam take note, Christmas is coming soon etc etc... )

 

Does anyone have any recommendations for where to go. Can be up to 1m45 long, have a sturdy (wooden?) surface to mount a vice etc to. Some storeage underneath would ne nice too. Have looked at Machine Mart & Screw Fix - any recommendations for other places to check?

 

Thanks - Michael (currently sipping a bottle of Chapman's Best from a 50th anniversary glass).

Can you not just bodge up repair the existing wooden workbench and put the savings towards an upgrade option 🤔

 

Keep off the straight and narrow 😬

Ah, but Nifty - when madam says "What do you want for Christmas" - it often pays to have an answer ready and waiting...

Michael - if my garage wasn't so full I'd have one of these from Justoffbase. You even get a couple of draws and a pegboard to hang your widgets and whatnots on

 

Sealey do a huge range, and Justoffbase seem to churn them out at good prices. If you don't need a back panel and want to spend some more of Tam's money , this one looks quite nice.

Got mine free at work - height adjustable legs, 2" thick wooden top clad with steel sheet, strong enough to put a truck engine on it without bending amazing what the Army throw out isn't it 😬
