- I'll have to check on the height, but I got a great assembly bench for
- a song a couple of years ago. It used to belong to a clockmaker, and
- it's big enough (4' x 10') to lay out a full grandfather clock with
- all the parts for assembly.

- The sucker has a 2" thick oak top, and I got it through an ad in the
- paper for < $100. Now, moving it in a few months is going to be a
- thrill :-)
