This is listed on CL for $80. Seems like a good deal. But do you think it’s a cheap harbor freight type bench? It looks like it could be one of those, but also looks like it could be a decent, possibly higher end bench. What do you think. I guess either way, it’s probably worth $80 in wood. I just don’t have the space for it at the moment, but might find a way…

I would snap that up for $80. It looks very sturdy. The two vises are probably worth that much. -- I would drink a river of the kool aid before I took the smallest sip of the tea... |

If the whole top is that thick, I’d say its not HF. The vices look to be worth that much at least. Id grab it fast. -- www.thepatriotwoodworker.com Proud Supporter of Homes For Our Troops |

Where on Craigslist is this listed? ;-) $80 for that bench is a no brainer. Does the kitty come with it? |

Definately not HF. They have drawers across the top and the legs are not square, more like 2×4s. -- Michael :-{| Diapers and politicians both need to be changed often; and for the same reason. |
