![Twitch Bans Hasan Piker After Hypothetical About Republicans Killing Senator Rick Scott [Update]](https://i.kinja-img.com/image/upload/c_fill,h_675,pg_1,q_80,w_1200/f34cd5654d9bbbfaeb82c499a4118d4b.png)
Use my leftover 4' x 25" x 1-1/2" unfinished maple butcher block for a workbench or try and sell it?
When we bought our home, I found the other half of the Williamsburg Butcher Block Co. countertop that was installed on our kitchen island. The remnant was leaning against the wall in the basement. I've tried to come up with practical uses for it for years and it remains unused. I have begun working in my garage to create a wall of shelves and brackets to organize tools and supplies that just wind up stacked or leaning everywhere. Because the only flat surface in the garage is the floor, I decided I would like to build a hinged workbench that will fold up against the wall when not in use but will fold down to give me a work surface when I am doing maintenance in the garage. The butcher block is the right size for the task, but I feel it would be a shame to use it for a grimy workbench when someone might get a beautiful island or something out of it if they had it. A full 8' piece sells for $350, so I might be able to get $100 out of it, but then I'd have to deal with the lowballing denizens of Facebook Marketplace. I do have a piece of 2' x 8' x 3/4" birch plywood that would certainly fill the same need. What would you do? submitted by /u/Punnalackakememumu [link] [comments]
