    Know this and know it well...any size workbench you build you will quickly grow out of and wish you had built a larger one. Also, if you allow your workbench to go unattended for a couple of weeks or a month or so, it will begin to produce and reproduce multiple pieces of junk!
    That is the wisdom of the ages right there ^^^.

    Also, if you let your wife in your shop unattended, you will soon not have one square inch on your work surfaces to actually work. After building a house with me, Mrs Inor has earned the right to be in my shop, but damn...

    I just brought home 2 nice wood shippers that I think will turn into nice tops for my work bench project. They were shippers for new glass doors for a cabinet we use at work. I will take a picture of them after I blow out the drive and remove them from my truck.

    I did not discover these vices until after I had built my main workbench. I am sure they existed, but I just did not know about them. But I would have definitely incorporated this badass mamba-jamba had I known!
    I've had one of those for over 50 years, I can't remember where I got it and it was old when I got it. Probably from the 20's 30's all cast & machined steel. I love mine.

    I think these will make nice tops for a couple of new work benches I plan to make in the spring.
