Chris, Thanks for this review. I've been looking at and considering one of those HF benches myself. I checked those item #'s at HF's site, and note that the 4 drawer model is a 'Truck Item' which is subject to an additional $50 or more shipping charge. I live about 45 min away from a HF retail store, so I could save that, but would have to pay sales tax of 8.25%. Still a good deal. CrowDuck |

Chris, If you look at the weight difference between the 2 benches you'll see that the one with drawers is 111 lbs, whereas the other is only 65 lbs. That's why the extra $50. Which tool chest at HD are you talking about? CrowDuck |

Chris, this doesn't have anything to do with the topic, but I'm looking forward to seeing what you build. It's nice to see another younger guy doing this. |

[/QUOTE] There are more than a few of us younger builders, y'know.... Chris: nice bench! Although I'll keep my triple-layer-of-Mdf-and-melamine 2-ton monster f'r now :-) |

Thank you, Mattia! I put together a bench using a salvaged bearueau, some cutoff 2x4s and two pieces of 3/4" MDF. The thing wieghs a ton and cost me around $25. It would be nice to get something a little more refined...Good find, Chris. |

Chris, sometimes a bench can seem sturdy and wiggle-free, but shows its true nature when you start doing some agressive sanding or planing. Test it out. If it starts rocking back-and-forth you might want to add some stretchers to the legs, as well as bolting the legs to the floor. |
