Almost David, mind you it will take two persons to put this thing together. In the past I have made do with all sorts of tables and stuff including a picnic table as a workbench. With the arrival of the new cabin I decided to bite the bullet and get a reasonable workbench.
Paul, I have the same two items in my Garage, I did add a 25mm thick ply top to mine as I didn't consider the supplied top robust enough.
25 mm? i.e. an entire inch?
I have an off cut of melamine which is just the right size to cover the work surface.
White Melamine makes a great Worktop, relatively cheep and if it gets too bashed up over the years is easily replaced. Mine has been in place for 7-1/2 years now and is still very servicable.I have an off cut of melamine which is just the right size to cover the work surface.
How do you get the paint to stick on plexiglass?
I have used plexiglass for platforms and paint sticks to it quite well, though I tend to use cheepo black £1 shop rubbish and cover with silica sand, not quite what you would want for a coach side.
Are you not going to insulate your cabin, Paul?
David, it took two of us almost 4 hours to put the workbench together. The plans supplied were pretty basic and whilst all the main parts were there, there were a number of nuts, bolts and washers missing. Luckily I have boxes of the said items, but it was still a faf. However I’m very happy with the end product.
No need to Paul, the roof is insulated already and three of the walls are well sheltered. During the winter months a small oil radiator keeps the temperature nice and cosy.
