I'm 6' 5" and for the previously mentioned workbench I am designing and
building, I decided on a 40" height. It is a
compromise between being able to work standing without stooping, and working
sitting on an adjustable height "secretary's"
chair. The Ultimate Garage http://www.ultimategarage.com/ recommends that you
build a two step workbench, one for standing
and one for sitting, but I just don't have the wall space.
Would anyone have an appropriate web page that I could post jpgs of my
workbench design when I am done?
