EXCELLENT IDEA!!
I hadn't thought of drilling "storage holes". That just might be the
trick to prevent pin loss.

Tell me about it. Students come in and cop the benches and take them
back to there rooms to use as night stands. Needless to say, we never
see them again. Another popular thing is to steal the bottom boards off
uprights. They place these up on cinder blocks and make tables out of
them. Sheesh!!! Only in America!

Thanks Again!
