I don't have any modifications but do have Sketchup plans to build you own Work Mate type bench. I can e-mail if you like.
Duck tape to keep on the the rubber leg ends.

Mine has a few saw kerfs in the steel bits as well as quite a few divotts and gouges, if those count as mods.
Didn't someone on the group modify theirs into a two piece system?
;-)
If you can find Pat Olguin, he has a bang-up mod that he did several years ago. Bing search for Odeen workmutt, that should get you close.
I went looking for this article, but Klownhammer seems to have disappeared. Did the Cable get it?

The first thing I did after I brought mine home from an auction was to hose it down. Since I did it after-market, maybe that qualifies as a mod? I was the only bidder and I paid $5 (in retrospect, I probably could have got it for $2). Who would have thought that no one except me wanted it? It paid for itself on it's first task. Who knows, maybe it will work as a sharpening stand (until I build a dedicated sharpening stand or planer stand as a "practice project" for my workbench). Come on snow...MELT!

My Workmate's rubber leg tips are long gone, then I finally sold the thing at the last garage sale. I used the Workmate very little after building a real workbench, but I can understand the portability of the Workmate is very good. ;)
The Workmate history is also interesting.
The rest of the book is pretty good, too. Almost a little too informative -- deciding which features to include in the "perfect" bench is daunting, though there are some nice measured drawings in the appendix.
When Google starts working again, plug in "workmate parts" for a shitload of hits. A couple of the places I spot checked had parts for many models.
