So I thought I'd give y'all a tour of the workbench I built several weeks ago...
Safety first! A heavy workbench with a low center of gravity keeps you safe by handling any kickback from whatever you're cutting easily. I had a couple scary moments when using a sawhorse setup where the kickback knocked the legs out! Then you're dealing with a recalcitrant electric tool *and* stuff falling all over the place =/ A sturdy base also keeps the bench from moving during any cuts for a smoother final product. I find that I'm more willing to use safety gear if it's clean and close at hand
In addition to providing storage space (off the damp concrete floor), the cross brace structure provides a nifty spot for extra pieces of wood
