We all know it's not really scrap, or as someone on here says, "It's not scrap until I say it's scrap.". We replaced our kitchen counter tops several years ago and I kept the top from the island knowing I would do something with it someday.
I also had some treated 4x4's from a fence that was torn down a couple years ago (getting the idea....I don't throw much wood away). So for $12 in 2x4's and about $20 in hardware I have a hoss of a workbench. It's 35"Wx59"Lx33"H and solid as a rock. It has a formica top and I considered covering it with a piece of plywood, but that would have been an extra expense (I'm cheap, too :gar-Bi).
Now all I need to do is add bench dogs, maybe a shelf and a couple of drawers and I'm good to go.
