5. I chose not to add the sheet metal to the second
workbench. For one thing, my friend has access to a
better variety of sheet metal at much better prices, and
with better tools for cutting it to size. Also, this way he
can decide what he wants to put there. The options are
nearly endless – a dry-erase board, cork, a variety of tool
holders, a neatly painted railroad logo or a photograph, or
anything else someone might find useful.
I am confident the one on the right (and maybe both of
them) will hold water if needed. While that may seem
pointless, I can see the potential for spilling paint,
glue, water, or some other liquid, and knowing it will
not leak out onto whatever the workbench is sitting on
will be quite reassuring.
