Great! Heavy is good. I never thought of using flooring for benchtops, that’s great.

Welcome to Lumberjocks. that bench looks like it will serve you for many years to come.
Those workbenches seem to evolve with time by adding this or that like vises and such, I just added a set of drawers to my 1988 workbench.
Thanks for the post.

Hi Rose and welcome to the site! I’m new here and not much of a wood worker yet myself (I spent the last 15 years shaping steel tho) and as it happens, a simple work bench is something I built too. You can see it on “My Projects” should you be interested.

I too have heard (long before coming to this site) that wood flooring material makes for good building material, can you get it cheap.
