Work Bench

[Farrell]

Glad you asked! My answer half-way meets your preference of not building one, as half of it is pre-built. Take a Betsy Ross spinet (now a bench frame), bolt on little 2x6 extensions on the keybed supports (remove keybed) and the bottom leg supports. Roll the piano forward so that the back is facing upwards. Attach a suitable flat surface to the piano back for your bench-top. I chose to use planks of hard maple and oak with an epoxy coating. The bench-top could be a simple as a hunk of plywood.

This is a super-stable, super-massive, super-heavy-duty table one can build for about $20 and literally complete in just a couple hours.

And besides, it is the only musical table on the market - the Betsy Ross never sounded so musical - each tool banged on the back strikes it own cord!

Only drawback - do I need to tune it once per year?

  any of you have suggestions for a good work bench?  I know build one.  I would like to not have to do that how ever.  I want a bench just for action work and bench reg.  I plan to build a bench for other jobs, but I would like to perches something stable for regulation.  Thanks.
