Support Large Panels on Your Workbench
Oct 25, 2005
I attached metal shelf standards and brackets to the legs of my workbench. With the aid of a small shelf resting on the brackets, I can support large awkward workpieces, such as doors, at the right height for planing or installing hardware. I clamp one corner of the workpiece in my bench vise to hold the work steady and upright and add a pipe clamp to the other corner if needed.
