I really like the I really like the log workstation. I'll see if I can talk my tree trimmer out of a correct size piece of log with sufficient mass and strength. It may be easier than to build a bench out of 2x4s and plywood. It certainly looks more "organic."Thanks

I just looked at the Bekvan Kitchen Cart on the Ikea website. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30240348/ It looks pretty close to exactly what I was thinking of. I'm think I'm going to borrow their design concept and with cheap 2x4s and scrap plywood realize my own version. Thank you very much! Have you made modifications to it for your leatherwork bench or have you left it as is, and clear it of your tools and supplies to hide it in plain sight when not using it for leatherwork?

I haven't considered a workmate. Are they sturdy enough and do they have enough mass to take the pounding without transferring the noise to the floor and the rest of the house? I know that a granite block put over a damping poundo sheet will absorb a lot of the noise but does the bent sheet metal and plastic workmate have enough mass to couple with the 12x12" granite block? What has been your experience with this setup? Thanks for your suggestion.Mike

Hi, I'm looking to build a freestanding mini workbench to use in my office/library/computer room or move it into the family room. I'm thinking of something with a 18" x 24" footprint or maybe slightly smaller that is sturdy enough for stamping and absorbing noise but is light enough to move from room to room. I have been thinking of using 2" x 4" or 4" x 4" lumber for legs with a wooden top. I could place a removable 12" x 12" or 12" x 6" small granite or marble block on top leaving a bit of room for tools and supplies. Any pictures or plans or suggestions for me? Thanks and regards, Mike
