Sturdy workbenches are usually huge and cost a fortune. But modelling projects in 1/87 scale normally do not need much space.
So we decided to build a workbench ourselves. The following pictorial will show you how we did that from an old wooden chest.

The heavy box that came from our shed was made from veneered chipboard.

First of all we took the lid and the metal castors off the chest. That was quite tricky because some of the screws had been
terminally rusty and needed special tools to be removed.

In order to make some space for the chrome plated legs we had to cut a strip of wood off the chest. Our jigsaw would be
guided along an absolutely straight piece of wood that we had screwed to the box.
