It installed quickly and offers everything you'd want in a shop floor: oil and chemical resistance, some cushion for tool drops, looks great, and REALLY helped cut down on the echo in the shop! This video was sponsored by The Home Depot's ProSpective Tool Review Program.

This is my take on a hand tool woodworking work bench for a hybrid woodworker in a garage shop! I sized it to not take up too much room, be easily movable, but be solid enough for any task I'd need from a workbench when woodworking with hand tools.

This assembly table is built to keep everything I used most often close at hand while building and finishing! It has a "rough" side where I keep common tools, screws, clamps, joinery aids, etc.. the "finish" side carries finishes, brushes, cloths, stand offs, paint sprayers, etc. And each end holds a lot of clamps or the power tools I constantly use, my drill, driver, and brad nailer!
