    1/8" steel is perfect for a workbench, too bad I couldn't take it with me when I moved. Even that was HEAVY as hell. Anything less will dent when beat on and makes dealing with rolly things kind of annoying. A 3x8 sheet also won't be cheap, but it sure is awesome especially when you're welding.

      I just reconfigured my bench to be free standing instead of screwed to the wall. 6 drawers go in the unit below it.

        Took a local trip to my Home Depot and built it according to my specs.

          I've got a 4x4 1" thick steel table. Such a nice luxury to have. Beat on it. Clamp to it. Weld on it, etc. Great bench all around

            I use a spare e30 trunk lid supported on one side by my tool chest and on the other by 4 tires stacked on each other. My air compressor and shop vac fit underneath nicely.

            It's got the nice rounded edge to lean against. I keep all loose sockets on a towel or a magnetic pan though because otherwise they can roll off.
