Too short. I'd have it 36" high anyway. Too much bending down for me.

: Hello all,

: Finally I am turning "area 51" (as it has come to be
: known) into a real workshop. The challenge is that area 51 is
: not separate from the house, so all the tools have to be on
: casters and roll out onto the porch for the actual work.

: What I have designed to facilitate this is a shop where the only
: "mounted" surface is a workbench made of 3' x 8'
: plywood. Below that where normally you would have cabinets, are
: rolling workstations that have storage built in. The tops of
: these are solid wood and will have holes in the corners similar
: to (and also used as) bench dog holes. Into these holes will
: affix various attachments like a roller outfeed for a table saw,
: or a router table top, or a metal top with a bench vise for
: automotive stuff. I am hoping to afford three of these
: workstations, and future additions to the shop will all be made
: to the same height so all can be combined or mixed and matched.
: For instance when building surfboards I can use one workstation
: on each end of the building table. Remember the tops of the
: workstations have holes, so the building table would have pegs
: on each end to fit these holes. I can roll the whole table on
: the porch for sanding and shaping, and then roll it back in when
: done. The tools I need will be right there in the rolling
: workstations.

: The bench itself will be 30" high- the height of a typical
: desk or table, so the workstations will be about 3" shorter
: than that. Remember that the add-on tops will increase the
: height for a given function like a roller outfeed for the table
: saw or a router table top that will rest atop the rolling
: workstation. I figure the router table top will be made to the
: height of the tablesaw so I can use the saw top for additional
: surface. Everything will be modular and have multiple purposes.
: The low stance of the workstations will also come in handy when
: working on large projects. Put all three workstations together
: and you have a nice low worktop on which to rest whatever you
: are building.

: SO- that's my idea. I thought I would field suggestions, photos,
: drawings, or what-not of your shop ideas that I might
: incorporate before I start putting this thing together. It also
: would be good for us to share shop ideas amongst ourselves. Show
: me what ya got.
