it'll be a permanent not folding, will have at least one vice maybe two. I think 2x2 will be fine as I'll run along end wall as well, also like the idea of an end panel. I'll also put supports under the 2x2 at the back and I think 3 legs at the front, plus the end panel. Not sure about a shelf underneath as we have a variety of plastic storage units, tubs, boxes, drawers, that are all free standing and will be slotting underneath. I'll also need a section for tyres, wheels and mudguards.

Ok, I'll get this done and take some piccies then the next phase will be tool storage above. I really fancy covering the wall in pegboard and creating my own tool 'masterpiece'. Also throw in some small drawer units and shelving. But if I cover the wall then I can re-arrange as and when I like.

Any ideas on the pegboard and how to hang the tools appreciated.

What you really want McB is someone to come and build you something that won't fall down for next to nothing ;). Apparently Easter weekend is the busiest time for hospitals treating DIY related injuries. Be careful.

I would use box section iron/steel as the worktop will bow over time unless it has a lot of support as in kitchen units beneath. 2"x2" along on the back or side walls will be sufficient, but across the front section and supporting legs - steel/iron box section.
