>I want to go deeper that 24", but how deep and this >is the question for you people out there who have shop benches. If >you were to do it again how deep would you go - 32" or 36"? I redid my work bench last summer and debated about the same issue. My old bench was 36" deep. I ended up making my new bench 48" deep and don't regret it at all. The downside is that it is a long reach to get stuff at the back, but it's not a problem really. The upside is that there is lots of space! If you are welding, get as thick a top as you can afford and or move. 1/4" is the minimum. Gary Lee |
