About
I benchmark workbenches using standardized loads and indicators, then translate results into clear choices and upgrade paths. I organize community test days and share replicable rigs so readers can validate our findings in their own shops.
Background
During a volunteer rebuild of a community makerspace, two benches looked identical until we loaded them with sandbags. One twisted like warm taffy; the other didn’t flinch. The debate ended when a dial indicator told the story. Since then, I trust measurements first, paint and branding last.
Perspective
I favor dense, wide-stanced designs with robust interfaces over aesthetic flourishes.
