My Wicked Workbench

My Grandfather-in-law generously gave us his workbench. He built it himself and we are pretty sure it could withstand a nuclear bomb, it is so sturdy.

It took 6 of us 2 full days to disassemble it in his basement, transported it in my parent’s car and re-assembled it in our basement. Once we had transported it over, we realized it was still too large to fit down our basement stairs and had to break it down into individual boards. It was worth it as I now have 8ft of solid workspace with handy storage below.

And now we know: we may have to sell this workbench with the house as the though of moving this again is tiring. Using a table saw is much easier (and safer) when it is not on the group and you don’t have to kneel in front of it.
