I recently picked up two solid core wooden doors 36" x80". They are very he avy and I am planning on laying them end to end for the top of a heavy duty work bench I want to construct in my garage. I also have several six inch in diameter PVC tubes that I am planning on using as stands for the workben ch. I will have six of these with two on each end corner and the two doors setting on two pillars in the middle. I will be filling them with premixed concrete from LOWES or one of the big box stores. I work from a wheel chair so I am not going to build as high as most people would need. Have any of you ever used a concrete leg for a bench? If so did you like it or would yo u go the traditional wood frame route if you had to do it again? I may even mount a 9" x 20" metal lathe on the top somewhere so I need to make sure v ibration is to a minimum. All advice appreciated. Gun Nut
