<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I built mine higher, to be closer to eye level. I am
pleased with the result. The only downside that I feel is that I must
stand on a stool to work on parts of it. With a shelf layout, reaching
over parts of it to work on an area behind should be less of a
problem. An advantage is easier work on the wiring and switch mechanisms
under the layout. Rail head is 48 to 53 inches from the
floor.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Hello All<BR> <BR>A topic sure to get a varied response
(!); what do y'all feel is the optimal height for benchwork? Kalmbach book
says 38". Specific application is a (mostly) shelf layout. Ceiling
height is a bit limited, about 6'6" (remodeled basement).<BR> <BR>Any
thoughts welcome!<BR><BR><FONT face="Lucida Handwriting, Cursive"
