I have a small workbench in the corner of my home garage that is 23" x 52".
The bench top is actually just made from scrap 2x4's and it has always had
a sheet of aluminum on it for a surface.  The aluminum was too thin and has
seen better days so I want to replace it with stainless steel.  I've been
watching Craigslist for an old kitchen prep table but they all seem to
bring good money.

The question:  If I were to just go out and buy a sheet of new stainless
for the bench surface ... what gauge would be sufficient?

Alternate question:  Any other suggestions for something to use as a bench
top surface?

-Trevor

Most stainless sheets I've seen are pretty tough.  18 gauge stainless should=
 be good.
