My old workbench was an old hardwood table. I need a new one. I thought about buying one from Sears or something, but those all look like they are way overpriced, and felt like it too. So I thought about building one, but not sure how that would work as far as maintaining a perfectly flat surface.

Anyone have any ideas on putting together a good workbench? Or, does anyone have any recommendations on building one (plans or something)?

I could always stick a hollow core door on a couple of workhorses. Hmmm... Are those doors really perfectly flat?

I'd like to go with a magnetic system; I hate the T pins, but I don't think I want to spend the money on the magnets just yet, so magnets are out for now.

By the way, my floor is terribly uneven where I'll be building at (old and warped hardwood floor).

Any advice at all would be appreciated!
