Back in January, when I started construction, I moved from my unheated hangar on my grass strip to my basement. So a work bench and Rotisserie were needed. I found a nice sturdy bench plan on YouTube build with Simpson 4X4 post to 2X4 frame hangers. Best bench I ever made! I used pocket screws, as they have a washer flange. Harbor Freight has an engine stand (get the 4 wheel, no EXTRA cutting needed). I cut the riser and welded in 2X2s and a pinch nut for height adjustment.
