Reading this post with interest, , it occurred to me that I have about four workbenches of various sorts distributed round the site. And so I wondered what others do.... The workbench , or in my case, the lack of one, was instrumental in sacking our first builder. Here's how. The Durisol blocks we use need cutting to size sometimes. And for speed, the lads would make a small pile of Durisol blocks on which to balance the top block: the one that needed to be cut. That's fine, until in trimming the top block to size they damaged the one below. Perhaps just a bit. But just as perhaps , a bit too much. And before you know it, when pouring concrete in the block with a cut in it, you have a burst. And God knows how much concrete on the floor. Explicit instructions to use one of the four temporary work benches provided were given to everyone in the company. One bollocking followed another, followed by a sense of humour failure on my part. Instrumental in the series of issues leading to a departure stage left for the company concerned. Currently I have two piles of pallets, each a different height an old (20 years) Black and Decker Workmate A Bosch table saw framework with a bespoke OSB insert an old stainless steel restaurant kitchen work bench The most useful is the pile of pallets. Just the right height, adjustable, just the right weight, easy to cramp work to the top level. Very adaptable. What have you used?
