It''s been great, yesterday I had four people working on projects down there and it was comfortable for all. In my old space there was hardly room for me! Thanks Beth.

It is large and sturdy, but was expensive and the top is nicer than I need in a basement. My vise still isn''t attached because I haven''t wanted to drill the top yet. The two smaller workbenches (lathe and woodworking one) use Roussau legs. These are sold at Woodcraft (down in Georgetown) and you can pick the width and depth and the legs are height adjustable. The top on the woodworking one is a european one that I bought a few years ago on Craigslist (they are sold new through Rockler and Woodcraft). Those legs are great, you they are sturdy and really easy to adapt to your needs. I could probably make my own from angle iron, but these are well thought out. I do want the figure out the shift adapter. I''m waiting for the SRAM 9sp hubs to come in and will do it. The big workbench is a Gladiator Garageworks one.

Where''d you get the workbenches from? A while ago ReStore had some old bowling alley lanes that I thought about turning into a workbench, but never did it for space and cost issues. Let me know if you starte getting serious about the indexed shifter/internal hub adapter. I started to make a jig so I could measure cable pull for each shift of an STI shifter, but it wasn''t really accurate enough, plus I never bought a hub, so I abandoned the project. Very nice.
