I'm building another workbench in my garage
that will be used primarily for engine work.
It's 8 foot by 22" deep and 34" high.
Since its use is for engine assembly/disassembly,
I'm considering having a sheet metal benchtop
fabricated to cover the 1 1/2" thick plywood top.
The plan would be to have a single sheet formed
into a verticle back splash panel as well as
covering the front edge of the plywood.
If the metal fabricator can handle it, I'd like to
see a 1/8" lip on the front that keeps parts/fluids
on the bench and off the floor.
Is this what others have done?
Crude ascii sketch of the side profile follows:
