7. There are a few differences between the two
workbenches. The second one (left) has a small lip to
prevent anything from rolling out. Rather than cutting
a groove in the bottom board, you could use edging
veneer designed for hiding the edges of plywood,
or even heavy cardstock. Once glued in place and
varnished, it would be more than strong enough.
I had to modify the barrel bolt latches for the
workbench on the right. They had a round tab on one
side, so rather than cutting it off I bent it around the
corner. A vise and a hammer made short work of that.
Since the loops were separate from the base plates, I
also soldered these pieces together. Sometimes cheap
or salvaged hardware needs a little modification to
work, but the price is right!
