WorkBench ReDo

These old work benches are so so hard to find these days, I was helping (driving a 2 ton ) move a friend of my son, and his father and I spotted a work bench about like that
one and it had a note on it Not to be moved.. Thank you. The owner of the building would not part with it.... it had a built in Michigan stamped on it.
I would guess it was built in the 50'es. It looked like it was made for water because
in front of the back splash it had a row of of maybe 8 to ten 1/4'' holes on both sides

I agree about these old benches Mike. I can't remember what I paid for them as it was quite awhile ago and I bought alot of stuff all at once.

Interesting about the bench with the holes in the backsplash. Wonder what it was used for.......:scratch:

I made my bench out of an old fire door. Solid wood, but Im not able to beat on it with a hammer. But I can drill holes in to secure bench grinders and such. A good bench is tops on the list of must haves, along with a good vise! Ill be on the lookout for one of these for a second bench.

Both of these have holes from a vise and grinders being mounted. They'll be mostly covered up again with more of the same.
