I visited the aviation department at Lowe's today to get materials to make my first bench ... was wondering if anyone had any interesting mods or suggestions before I get started. I'd forgotten how hard it was to surf thru and find enough straight 2x4s!
What about MDF vs. particle board? I'm thinking MDF for the top and something cheaper for the shelf underneath.
Also, how important is it to get the top surface perfectly straight and level?
It seems like I saw somewhere on someone's page an interesting way to level the legs - adjustable legs of some sort - anyone done this?
Thanks in advance!
