I was wandering around the Lionel web site and came across an article on building benchwork.

Basically rather than build a conventional table they build a base which looks like a series of low walls made from 2 x 4s. 2x4's horizontally top and bottom with 2 x 4 vertical support on 24 inch centers. Anyone ever try this method?
