Hello chaps,
I've just bought a new house which comes with a 13' x 6' workshop
The workshop is built onto the side of the house, so has one solid brick wall and three shed-style wooden walls.
I want to build a 10' workbench along the length of the house wall, and was wondering what the best material to use is?
It needs to be pretty solid so that it can withstand general woodworking tasks without bouncing / flexing / moving.
So far I have considered something like thick MDF - I think you can buy 25mm MDF which would be OK I think. Problem is that if it gets damp / wet I'll be in trouble! I guess I could seal it with PVA or similar.
Also thought about buying kitchen worktop and maybe glueing two lengths together back to back for extra thickiness and strength.
Anyone got any other bright ideas - what have other people used?
My plan is to attach it to the house wall for a nice solid fixing, and use some chukny square wooden leg supports.
Cheers
