Work benches
Im looking to put a work bench in my garage/mancave. I wanted to see what some of you guys did with yours. I have an idea of how i would like it to look but making it is another story haha! So post up pics and any pointers would help!

I saw one recently where the table top attached to the wall with hinges, so you could fold it back up to the wall to save some space. You could have legs that folded down or chains to limit how low it would come down. There were tools mounted on the wall with pegboard that would be hidden when it was folded up. Looked cool, I think I'm gonna copy it.

this will double as a reloading bench for ammo and to do some electrical connections and all that so i would like to have it where i could make it clean and neat when i work on it. I found a company locally that sells these tops for a good bit cheaper so i can still replace it if i need to. I just want it to look as nice a possible!

I will try and post pics of the workbench/shelving I am building now later on tonight... I designed and built everything to be freestanding off the floor that why i can sweep/mop easiely, so nothing is touching the ground... I built mine to last!!!
