Re: Still don't have a workbench? This one is easy

Great design! Functional and easy to build as advertised.

Clinton66's concern about liquid spills bulging the top are well founded, and I'd recommend either a couple coats of clear waterproof finish, or better yet, plan in an extra 1/4 of top thickness for a sacrificial piece of hardboard on top of the MDF.

I tack this down with a finish nailer which sets the nail heads below the surface (no glue) and coat it with varathane, spar varnish or whatever happens to be handy.

After it's suffered the inevitable damage that a bench top will, or after rebuild your greasy motorcycle engine on top of it, you can pry it up, pull the nails and attach a new one.
