Message	I wanted a bench that would not flex -AT ALL- when pulling on something clamped in the vise. And I went with what I thought was overboard and made it with 1/4" angle legs bolted to the floor and wall, and a solid 3/8" steel top. now that it's done I don't think it was overboard at all. The top alone weighs 240 lbs and another 275 lbs for the legs. I'll take a pic of it and post it. It's a two pc bench, one side bolted down, and one side on casters so you can roll it outside and use it as a welding table. It came out awesome.
