Make it 36" wide at least, mine is 40" wide, it seemed that 48" was too much of a reach, but it isn't really becouse you will put tools or shelves or lights or a small parts chest etc. Make sure you put the height where you do not need to lean over while standing,... saves your back. >From: "Lido Mail" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "Bill Harris" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: [RCSE] Workshop? >Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2001 15:01:07 -0500 > >Definately go with the 36" width AT LEAST, Bill.
