Cheap workbench

We were strolling through the local Re-Store - you know the place that sells used building materials from torn down houses. Anyway, they have loads of doors. This is a door that is 3' wide and 7' long, light, being hollow-core, strong, and flat. AND it was only $20.

Add some a-frame legs like you would find for saw horses and Voila! A cheap, large, flat, strong workbench.

In my case, I set it on an old student desk and used the drawers for storage. Also I used the doorknob hole as a pass-through for cords.

Now that's recycling!
