Thaddeus Kosciuszko Posted July 19, 2015 Share #1 Posted July 19, 2015 It's looking like I need to make room by taking apart and disposing of a workbench. It came with the house when we moved in. I haven't used it other than as a storage shelf. For projects I use another larger workbench that also came with the house. Part of the top of work bench I will get rid of is made of a single piece of wood almost 3" thick, about 18" wide, and over 5' long. I never noticed that until I started to figure out how I would take it apart. Not sure what the wood is, because it's painted. I'd guess pine , but it would have be a rather dense or close-grained pine. It's not glued together like 'butcher block' either - it's one solid piece. I don't know what such a piece of wood might cost today, but I suspect it would not be cheap based on what I've seen in the lumber stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc2000 Posted July 19, 2015 Share #2 Posted July 19, 2015 Time to sell that bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted July 19, 2015 Share #3 Posted July 19, 2015 I made a work bench out of oak and maple blocking that was left on my trailer after I delivered a load that was supported by it. I didn't need a workbench that sturdy but why buy lumber when left over blocking is free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
