The workbench has been a ESSENTIAL part of my DIY ever since I made it 10 months ago, but I found pretty quickly that the edges got damaged when I rested them on the ground to store it in the garage. So I needed to find a way of protecting them.
I was on a building site during my day job, and was surprised to find two (very muddy by this point) lengths of decking in the skip. The foreman said I could have them - with their incredibly dense, resinous wood, I knew they would make the perfect protective guard for round the edge of the workbench - and so they proved.
I cut strips off the decking using my circular saw (I don't know what I'd do without that saw) - here's a video on it youtube.com/watch?v=20uix8zGOKg
I then drilled holes in the strips, and countersunk them in preparation for the 4x40mm exterior screws that would attach the strips to the edge of the workbench. Before I screwed the strips to the workbench I drilled pilot holes in the side of the workbench, as the ply can be quite brittle.
For the 45 degree corners, I marked the edge with my combination square and then cut the 45 degree angle with my Irwin Jack floorboard saw. The strips were then glued with Evostik Exterior Wood glue before offering up and screwed to the table.
