Subject: workbench

Question
A friend has been given a large door (about 3 feet x 8 feet) that he wants to use as the top of a workbench. Now he needs to find something to  set it on - that won't cost more than buying a workbench in the first place. He wants something with a lot of shallow drawers for holding supplies and tools. Do you have an suggestions?

Thanks

Jo

Answer
Hi Jo, short of building a custom base, I don't really have a suggestion ...other than maybe using something like Ikea kitchen cabinets for a base. They're cheap, well made and could be screwed together in a multitude of configurations...hope that helps- regards- Greg
