Quick and easy way to get a bench top.
Take two 2x12's and put them side to side, this gives you a 2 ft deep work surface which is plenty.
Use masonite on top of the 2x12's. If it gets beat up, it is easy to attach another piece of Masonite.
I bolt my bench legs right to the wall, and put a shelf underneath for storage.
Mine is a little to messy to show in a picture right now.
