Thread: what do you do with old benches you no longer need

    what do you do with old benches you no longer need

    I built a 6' or so long work bench that I want to re-home now that I've completed some cabinets for the shop. It's a simple thing but strong with a lower shelf and four shallow depth but long drawers. What would you do with this? Give it away, sell it on craigslist?

    Personally I'd be inclined to pass it on to someone.

    I passed one along with two QR vises to a fledgling WW'er.

    If you have a Habitat for Humanity Re-Store in the area, they love this kind of stuff, and sometimes the tax write-off for the donation is more than you would get for items that don't have terrific resale, or are hard to transport.

    Just gave an old 6' work bench I had built some time a go to one of the guys at work. I've been lucky - he's been willing to take my old tools (that really are in very good condition) and other show items. Selling on CL and forums is time consuming, time is something I don't have a lot of.
