When I set up my new workroom about 5 years ago I decided to go the cheap workbench route.
I bought a piece of Formica kitchen counter and mounted it on the wall with angle iron.
I've been fighting with the darn thing ever since.
It's perfectly level length wise. But width wise is a totally different story. Towards the backplash, level and good. As you move to the front edge not good at all. Maybe they are designed this way to keep water from flowing off the edge? Anyway not having a flat level surface to work on has been a real problem.
So when Harbour Freight had this workbench on sale, I bought it.
Haven't opened the box yet, but the darn thing is freakin' heavy.
I have Monday off and plan to put it together then.
Cleaning off the old workbench is going to be a bit of a chore, but it really needs it anyway..........
