DIY question - suggestions needed
So I was gifted a 48 in. W x 25 in. D 2-Drawer Workbench with Power Outlets and Light for Christmas a while ago -
I told my dad I needed a woodworking bench and sent a link for a cheaper one than this. Not ungrateful but I’m sure yall can see how this wouldn’t work for things such as a vice as it’s a bit wonky. I’m thinking of making a bench top slab and am hopeful I can screw it into the top made of 2x4, something simple but hefty.
Would I be able to slap something on top? My worries are as listed
Would that be too heavy, or would the weight help keep it stable?
If it’s too heavy is there a way I could bulk the frame by making it a skeleton of lumber? I’m thinking I could possibly just cut out a frame that it almost sits in?
I feel like I’m over thinking it and it’s either easier than I think or I’m simplifying it too much and the table would not work well as a base even if I attempted to bulk it?
Any suggestions?
