Excellent Simon, Your one of us.......!!!!  :Dremel:
It is very interesting to see others work areas as it shows that all of us maintain about the same order of "essentials"  :[]:

Alright. Here's the finished product. I stained it with polystain all in one polyurethene/stain. I wanted it to look like it was a little fancier than plywood. LOL. It's an antique dark walnut color.

Thanks Gears, I'll give that a try.  ;D  I have to go pick up a small desk that My Step Daughter gave to Me and put it together,add some leveling screws ,and finish. I want to add a larger top to it too,I tend to spread out as I'm working. ::)

If you want to paint it with something really tough, go with polyurethene. It will take SEVERAL coats to acheive a good slick finish, but it will be worth it.

That's looking real good,Gears. You could lay down and sleep on that puppy ( at least until You start working at it) . I haven't got Mine built Yet but gotta start soon,The Boss kicked Me off the table. I don't know why, it ain't like I'm usin' chain saws on it. :-\   What kind of paint, is there some real tough stuff out there? I'd rather paint mine if there is, I had planned to cover mine with formica or the like. ;D

More workbench progress. I got the back on , and decided to put up some pegboard. Now all it needs is a good coat of paint.

Excellent progress Rob! At over 9' long you have good working space and could even install a length of test track! :whwh:
A power strip screwed to the underside edge might help keep your cords out of your way. I'm sure Kitty will be glad to get her dining room table back!!! :Dremel:

Well, here it is in all it's gory...er uhh I mean glory...I guess. We just got done with it. Now I have a place to model other than Kitty's dining room table. It's 9.5' long and 14" wide. Ain't much, but it'll gitRdone. I'll be adding a back on it with some pegboard. When we're all done, I'll post some more.
