Garage Workbench Dimensions

I'm 6' tall and I built mine 42 inches high. An "old timer" told me always keep your work area at your waistline. Its nice because I can also use my old wooden bar stools when I want to sit and work. Also, Im in construction and sometimes need a little extra room so what I did was double the top and hinge it on the outside edge. That way when I need extra space I clear off the top and flip it down and I have an 8' x 8' work area. The "backsplash" of the bench turns into the drop down legs to support the extended section when I flip it. Good luck!!!
