I’ve been considering building a more functional (and solid) workbench. I think I have pretty well figured out what I want to do, except for the top.
I have a supply of oak that has been laminated into 12 inch wide by 1 7/8 thick planks. I’d like something a bit thicker than 1 7/8 thick for the top so what I’m thinking of is laminating 2 pieces of MDF then gluing and screwing the planks for the top onto them (after they have been planed and jointed).
How many things could go wrong with this?
