Talking Cheap Arse Bench Station 101

Well after days upon weeks of contemplating which bench station to get I finally convinsed myself to go with the $300 Dimas-Tech Station. I wasn't too happy with this decision as I have better things to spend my money on than that, like more hardware! Thanks to Jody aka 3oh6 I went the cheap, ghetto route. He gave me the idea and I put a tweak to it. I added me some built in handles. The custom cut one could have been a little better but I didn't have a router and had to use my dremel. It wouldn't have been a true ghetto build without a little ghetto work on it now would it have been?

Material used:

$10 - 12" x 18" bamboo cutting board from Wal-Mart
9 - 1 1/4" 6/32 screws I already had
27 - 6/32 nuts
4 Lian Li billet feet off my case I had laying around in the closet
1/2" Neoprene I got off eBay for $8.99 for a 1' x 2' piece

I'll let the pictures speak the rest.





My neoprene is still in the process of being shipped to me but pretty much I cut a piece the size of the mobo and stick it between the bamboo block and mobo and should have a tight seal across the whole mobo preventing condensation if there ever happens to be any. I will have to drill a few more new holes for when I put my Classified on it.
