Re: Ideas for workbench top

Mine is 3 layers of 3/4 inch MDF framed with oak banding. It is pretty heavy.

Mark, thanks for the idea with the 1 inch dowels I hadn't thought of that. I might give that a try.

Re: Ideas for workbench top

Next weekend, I am starting to build my workbench out of SYP. I have had the wood in my shop for 3 weeks now, and the plan for 4 months. I based it off the Schwarz benches in his book.



Hopefully, I can get it all together with just a gallon of tite bond.
