Re: Just built a workbench - finish the plywood top?
I'm 6'2" and I put a lot of thought into how tall it needed to be. The top is at 40", which (so far) seems to be a comfortable height. If I need to increase the height, I can always flip the table on its side and screw blocks to the bottom of the legs. It's also 3' deep, so I can easily reach the center of the bench with no uncomfortable stretching.
I'm mostly interested in keeping various fluids (brake, power steering, trans, blood, urine) from soaking into the plywood too much.
Good idea regarding the welding table. I plan on learning how to weld in the coming year and setting the bench on fire won't make the wife terribly happy.
