My basement has a built-in basic workbench secured to concrete footers and steel I-beams that support the main I-beam for the house. It's an L shape 125x24" long with a 27x29" nub. (so the outside dimensions of the "L" are 125x51")
I want to replace the top and integrate a router table into it. So I want it to be stable. My problem is that both of the 12' 2x4s running the length of the bench have some twist in them. It's not terrible, but its pretty easy to see. Any ideas for what I can do to compensate for the twist? I figured I can always shim, but I was hoping to avoid trimming a bunch of 1.5" long shims.
