Modified EAA standard worktable
I was in need of a table for my new belt-sander, grinder, band saw, and soon-to-be lathe, and apparently someone in EAA Chapter 1000 had already come up with a decent workbench design 20 years ago. Believe it or not, the design is still floating around on the web.

| Example of original EAA workbench |
The original table is 2’ x 5’, but I needed one that was 39” square, and able to hold around 350lbs of machinery, so I modified the dimensions and strengthened it.

| The Master plan |
Total cost was around $100, using the more expensive plywood.
 |
| All the materials necessary for the table |
 |
| "Measure once... cut twice!" Doh! |
 |
| Reinforced frame holding itself together (legs aren't fastened yet) |
 |
| It's always good to have a helper (thank God for Spring break) |
 |
| Finished table |
 |
| Stress testing |
 |
| Finished table earning its keep! |
