I feel for ya brother. I dropped a sheet of that on my foot a couple months ago at Home Depot and thought I was going to pass out. Luckily, it just landed on my toes, not up on the bones of my foot or I know it would have smashed my foot to smithereens.

Bench looks good. Only thing *I* would do different is go with a metal electrical box screwed into the bench. Those plastic ones have too much flex for me when I plug stuff in and out. Nice bench though!
