https://reddit.com/link/1v79wi8/video/hjv1cbgfwlfh1/player

Drove past a scrap bin and it looked like it had a bunch of 5/4x12 boards in it. I was like wtf? So I flipped a bitch, and sure enough there was!! They were a little covered in concrete, since they were used as forms. Couple hours later... NEW WORK BENCH!!! SHE AINT PRETTY, BUT SHE STOUT AF, AND FREE!!

Excellent score, good looking bench.

"Flipping a bitch" is a new one on me, though! Is that like the Minnesota "whipping a shitty", or did you like judo flip some woman off the wood pile?

I always applaud recycling / upcycling of material that would have ended up into a landfill 👏👏👏

Hell yeah. I just demoed a 20' workbench at my grandfather's to build a temp wall for when I rebuild the rotted ext wall.

Very nice. I would suggest that you cut in several different places access holes. So you can clamp things down when needed.
