Sounds like you wanted to build the table top...which is cool....but I have to tell you the best woodworking bench I've had ( and I've had several due to being in the military and moving around every 3 years) is an old "schoolhouse" door that a friend of mine gave me...thing is 2" thick and solid as a rock...and the cost...gotta love it...free...now that i've had it for awhile i tend to see alot of these old solid wood doors everywhere....flea markets, thrift shops and construction sites and they can usually be picked up really really cheap or sometimes even free! Even use the hole for the door knob to route some of my cords out of the way....just made a sturdy frame out of 4x4's and 2x4's and this thing takes alot of abuse....nothing else to do to it once you got is on a base...edges are already finished and if you get the older doors then it's usually solid...no veneer on it...I wouldnt trade this workbench for world...i've hauled this one around for over 6 years now..it's even made a trip to japan with me!...Just a suggestion if you dont really want to spend a whole lot of time on a workbench...
