Trying to forestall a bit of thread drift over in the RV-7/7A project status section...
The EAA Chapter 1000 benches seem to work pretty well, but I'd give the top a two or three inch overhang all around for clamping stuff. You wont regret it.
My own 4' x 8' benches predate Chapter 1000 (of which I am a proud member and regular attendee
). I built them with eye toward building a Mini-Max many many moons ago. They are a bit too wide for convenient use against the wall, I need a step stool to reach the stuff that inevitably migrates to the back. When I get the use of the second half of my garage I'll slide them out a few feet for better access all around.
...Now I just need to finish building my real workbenches...my little sawhorse table is decent for flattening the plans sheets though.
