Hi Jim,
I'm new to SMC, and just found this thread. I'm planning on building a workbench soon, and was wondering about the adjust-a-bench base. Now that you have had it for a few years, what do you think? Is it sturdy enough for manual work? ie planing? I have been a power tool guy for quite a while, and am interested in learning hand tools. So I'm starting to add stuff to my shop to accomodate that.

Mine works great! It has been standing idle for a couple of years, but I am not trying to put it back into service. It is heavy enough to be steady while planing and yet can still be moved if necessary. I also use it as an extention for my saw on long pieces of lumber or plywood. The adjustable height really helps.
Old age can be better than the alternative.

I remain very pleased with my Adjust-a-Bench investment. And yes, it's very sturdy. Doesn't move around at all.
I will note that I sold off the original mobility base/casters early-on as 1) I don't really move it around and 2) kept knocking my ankles into them. I replaced the casters with two "conventional" looking bench feet made from recycled doug-fir and then shimmed everything level. (the floor in my shop slopes to the front because it was originally built as a garage building by the previous owners) There is likely another thread here somewhere that shows those "feet"...
