That shit would be nice and heavy duty if you need to hammer on the top of it. Also if you attach a vise and really need to yank on some shit, a real heavy bench like that will be more stable than plywood assuming neither are secured to the floor or wall.

I bolted this bench to the wall after my last place, I tipped the whole bench a little when doing rough work with the vise.

I’m with this guy.

Just pick a smart place for the vise. I’m still not sure if I did mine properly. I was tempted to put it in the corner near the wall, but from time to time you may be sticking like 48” pieces in a vise and it won’t work if you have it on the corner of the bench near a wall.

I have mine like 2/3 the way down so I have a decent surface. And then I’ll do a makeshift table with plywood, a couple 2x4’s, and a couple sawhorses for larger sanding/painting projects.
