Hi everyone. I am wondering if anyone knows of a good source to purchase a bench. I dont have a huge budget (500ish?). I would also be willing to build one. If anyone can help or has a source for some plans, I would be willing to buy them. Thanks in advance.

Peter, Welcome to the best internet Horological website around. Try this link, one of our own Dave Abbe has used them I believe. They might have what you need. Benches

I've bought a few things from these guys. A little assembly required.

I purchased a bench and tool rack from these people and paid instantly with Pay Pal. They sent me a receipt & shipping order with tracking number. 4 days later I get an Email stating that my monies have been returned. No explanation and they do not answer the phone or reply to my Emails. At least I got my money back, but I would rather have the bench. Any body know what's going on?
