Ohekk,

If you make your bench tops 32" or 36" deep, make sure you can reach the wall outlets easily.

Ken,

Aren't you concerned about burning the bench top beneath the steel sheet when you're welding? The steel top does sound great for a work surface, though.

I made a 30" X 39" all steel rolling welding table with a 5/16" top with ribs welded to the underside, square sides and angle iron legs flush and square with the top so I can use it like a big cube for clamping. Then I mounted a swivel vise on one corner. I have swivel casters on one end and non-swiveling casters on the end with the vise. Lots of cutting and grinding and welding involved and overkill, perhaps, but well worth the effort every time I use it.
