I lived in a small town in Millville Pa. all my life. Our big town has one four way stop sign. We at one time had two grocery stores. One closed up and one burned down. When they was hauling away what was left (not much) of the store I seen a butcher block table or what was left of it going into the trash. I stopped to ask if I could buy it and they said I could have it. It had to be over 100 years old. When I went to load it it was very hard to pick up. The wood was only nailed together with square nails and it would bend when trying to pick it up. I'm betting this was in the store since the store was built. I took it home and made a work bench out of it. I sure did not need another work bench but I had to have a piece of history from our little town. The bench takes at least four people to move it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can see a class 3 hitch on one corner. I put them on all my benches to mount tools like vise's on when ever I want.I have no idea how long this was before it got broken...

Great save, Kevin. 

Heavy monster but then you want the bench that way.

+1 on all of the above.  Awesome save and vision.

Nice!

Very cool Kevin, great save.  It pays to "be in the right place at the right time"
