mechanism to change height of a work bench

Three Jeeps · 2020-10-16T01:09:38+00:00

I built a work bench years ago (~5' wide, 30" deep). Basic 2x4 framing and 3/4" plywood desk top with ESD shelf on top of that, + 3-4 shelves above desktop for equipment location.One thing I wanted was a mechanism to raise/lower the entire desk, from say 28" to maybe 36". I looked at some hydraulic mechanisms that would do the job, but crazy expensive.Any one have pointers to more cost effective resources? Pointers appreciated.TIAjohn

He could use a platform which slides under when not in use like a trundel bed.

First you have to cannibalize the old barber... I haven't seen a barber close up in this century but I assume they're not doing too well these days.

Particularly when the Grand is down pretty far when you are only a few miles from the Elora Gorge - - Likely about 25 feet or more down from where the fence ran.

Reminds me of a redneck beer can crusher video I saw on youtube some years back. It was pretty slick.
