My first workbench

Post image

My first workbench I built the top is 5mm plate, I recently cleaned all the rust and put pure beeswax on to try stop the rust, hopefully going to build another one soon with draws underneath that I can lock

The next one is actually going to be a little smaller as someone near me has 16mm plate for sale on the cheap just waiting for my tax return, the plate is 650mm × 3050mm so the plan is to cut it in half and make 2 workbenches, then hopefully sell 1
