Workbench Height - At the Wrist. Good Idea? FAQ

My point wasn't using the credit card, it was buying an already made, piece of crap workbench. Yes, that workbench might satisfy her minimal needs for a workbench, but at least you could have taught her how to set screws with a drill, assuming she couldn't figure it out on her own, which sure isn't rocket science.

Of course my point was watching her drive 80 to 100 screws without spending 30 seconds showing her how to set the clutch and set the last

I never mentioned buying her a folding table. If my daughter wanted a work bench like you bought her, I'd tell her to go to HD or HF and buy it, put it together yourself. If she wanted to build one, I'd help her design, and build it herself. I would not stand there whilst she improperly tightened a hundred screws, particularly since besides reading directions, it would be about the only skill needed to assemble the thing.

WOW! Count me as impressed.

I'm sure you'll never understand.

I have these things on the wall called "switches". While they are hard work to use, at least they're deaf.

You're certainly easy to please. Your owners are quite happy about that.

I didn't buy a ready made workbench. Try to keep up.

I already addressed your ridiculous accusation that I watched her drive screws without helping/teaching/showing her the correct way. Perhaps you didn't understand my not so subtle sarcasm. Try to keep up.

Good grief. Where do you come up with the crap you spew? It's almost like you don't even read what you respond to.

Moving on...

I'll count you as a maroon, if that's OK with you...

I'm sure you haven't a clue, and are incapable of explaining most of the dumb crap you spew on just about every topic that comes up, even if you can't cut a straight line.

Lucky for them. At least they don't need to listen to a fool.

Oh, I get it, you are worried about everyone spying on little old you. I suggest wrapping your tiny brain in tin foil, that might help.

What a moron. No wonder you can't tell the difference between a workbench and a folding table.

I don't have Jeff listening to me, no, but I do find you rather funny.

If you don't, you're an idiot (you don't so...). You must be a Bidenite.

The grounding strap in the hoses helps to prevent clogs, keeps things from sticking to each other.

Static electricity causes things to stick together. This causes the clogs. The ground strap bleeds the electricity from the system safely to the ground, allowing the dust to flow freely.

The same static electricity causes the spark that you get in some situations when you touch your spouses nose. With the right dust concentration that spark could cause the dust to explode.

A similar situation occurred in grain elevators where dust explosion use to be quite common.

this is a refference for my message on dust explosions

Static electricity causes the dust in your dust colllection system to stick together and clog up the pipes. The electicity is bleed from the system to the ground by the metal grounding strap.

This is the same electicity that you see sometime in cat fur, or when you touch your spouse's noise

It is a common cause of explosions in grain elevators, which were quite common in the past,

The ground strap blocks flow causing more blockage. That's its only purpose.

Old wives tale. It's NEVER happened.

A *very* different situation.

Biggest one I am aware of was a sugar proccessing plant, believe it was in Texas. But the energy available in sucer it a lot high than sawdust.

Start stacking books on a table until you find what feels right--keeping in mind what you intend to be doing. Worked for me--40" exactly. Probably a little higher than what might generally "be suggested", but it works for me. Note: It's probably typically easier to shorten legs than the reverse.

Your suggestion is about 3 months too late, but thanks anyway.

Maybe next time. ;-)
