    Workbench Top Thickness

    What is a good thickness for a benchtop I want to drill for holdfast's? I have one table made out of 2x6's which could be used. Plenty room beneath the top for the 8" holdfast's. But it is 2'x2', so it is only useful for working with small pieces. My other tables are 2'x4' or 5', but are...

    Cypress Top Tables

    LOML volunteered my services to the Church to make a pair of simple end tables for the ladies lounge. This is what I came up with. The tops are cypress and the under carriages soft maple painted and lightly distressed. I'll never pay for my habit if I keep this up.

    Hardboard on a bench top???

    Has anyone used it to top a bench? I am thinking about using it on top of my main bench which is MDF that's looking and feeling a little rough. Does the dark color create any problems.

    OK, what started the menu changes has setup. The original "second menu" had a lot of limitations in terms of how much could be added. That's why the side menu was used to add things but only a few could be added to the top menu. There are a lot of people who don't use side menu and because of...

So, I would really love to have a granite, marble or composite top made but I think the expense will be prohibitive. Or make a wood top myself. In any case what thickness is minimal? The...
