A GOOD WORKBENCH

[Ian Melville]

Having just put the last coat of varnish on my new (over engineerd) workbench I am sort of quaified to answer this

Balls

Yup that right about the height of your nads, possibly, plus an inch or two. height and arm length are factors that will dictate(no that wasn't a pun) the size. I am fortunate that I have worked at various workbenches in the electronics trade so have an idea what works for me.

I still did make my bench so that the legs can be removed, dropping it about 18" I have screw adjusters from Axminster tools at the bottom of the legs as levelers(also will fit on lowered bench). You may want to drop the bench height when working on a fusalage. My bench height is 35 1/2 inches, and I am 6 foot.

If you get it wrong you could always build blocks under the legs, or shorten them.

I prefer boxes, more freedom for my tools

You set them up and I'll knock em down

Yours or the bench's legs?

[Ian Melville]

Same thing isn't it?Though I may draw the line at shortening my own pins


Note the boxes, non-lunch, of my 6 foot bench (long not tall )

Remember to remove your stillts before you go flying, the AAIB would have a field day

Photos emailed, my secret bench technology is revealed........

I expect perfection and another fine example of a great 'Northern' bench, even though it is Yanto Land !

You haven't said what you want it for?
