After spending several years working on a nice homemade but rather small workbench, I decided it was time for an upgrade. Thankfully I didn't have to buy anything, as my Mom saved a real quality desk, and I mean quality. It comes from an era when they knew how to build a proper piece of furniture ! An estimated guess puts it in the 1940s, but could be even older. It features a HUGE tabletop compared to the previous bench, perfect for working in O scale. Plenty of drawer space, and pull out shelves for extra work area, always a plus. Only change to it was painting it a light colour, which makes it perfect for finding those small details that fly away from the tweezers. It was a tight fit getting it through the doorway I'll tell you :) You can't beat real solid wood.
