Garage work bench

[Jim Riseborough]

So I am going to use some Ikea base cabinet carcasses for my work bench in the back of my garage, and build in the cutting station for my miter saw. I had some ideas on the fence system, one was to build the workbench out of MDF and then cover with a hardwood, 2" thick. For the fence, I would have a section that could be flipped upand create the fence for the saw. Only issues I see is the hinge getting in the way if I have over 2" wood to cut

What have you guys done for workbenches/saw stations?

I propped the saw up in a way that allows long wood to sit on the bandsaw table. Short pieces no worries. It's not that technical or great but it's an easy fix for now.
