My work bench is 2" square tube with 5 legs It measures 3'x10' I made it to fit my tool box underneath. The top is 10' long 4'x10' 1/16" steel sheet. This is bent 90° down 2" across the front , and 90° up 10" across the back as a backsplash. I used 1" square tube to weld up 2 permanent shelves 10' long attached to the work bench for my books, and other supplies. The shelf tops are 1/8" masonite screwed down.
I also installed some 2&1/2" tubing in 3 locations on the work bench. You can see the middle one in the picture between my welding rig and my tool box, however theres 2 more, one on either end. These are for my bench vise, and bench grinder. I then made mounts like a reciever hitch out of 2" tubing for my bench vise and my bench grinder. This way I can put either one of these tools in one of three spots on the work bench to use them. Or just remove them altogether to get them out of the way.
