Go to a shop that sells kitchen counter tops the formica kind ask if they have any used or custom made ones that are damaged. They usally throw them away. So you might have to dumpster dive. I got one used(free) cut it to size I wanted screwed 2x6 to bottom of it. Then bolted 4"x4"x4" inch angle iron to it and bolted 4x4(screwed 2- 2x4 together) legs on angle iron. I scrounged all parts except 3/8" bolts. It's stout as a tank and has a nice smooth surface to work on. I got one with the splash guard so I don't have to worry about anything rolling off back of bench.
