Everyone goes about this a different way. Traditionally an apprentice would be required to build their bench. I don't think there is anything wrong with folks buying their own bench, I just am not doing that myself.

Alf, grammar is not one of my strong points. I think I presented an opinion, not a parameter, so you can place your own opinion on yourself, I don't reserve any right to do so myself!
