Several members gathered at the space to construct a heavy tool workbench for the new mini mill. We chose a 40″ height, 4×4 legs, a double layer 1.5″ plywood top, and 2×4″ braces and supports around the sides of the legs — typical of what happens when a small circular saw is your most advanced woodworking tool on hand. The 38.5″ wide bench fit perfectly into our small “metal shop” and should serve as an excellent work surface for milling once the replacement mill comes in.
