screen printing workbench

Yesterday I built a workbench designed to function as my screen printing table. I asked around to get an idea of what you need for a good work table. One suggestion is to make the table belly/elbow height- about 38" high on me, a 5'7" person (want the table to be tall enough so you don't strain your back). I also measured my screens and printing supplies to build a shelf into the table to hold these things. My budget was $100 for materials (spent $98 on lumber and drill bit kit). The table is built from pine I got at Lowe's hardware in Brooklyn. All you need is wood, a drill, saw, screws, measuring tape, pencil, beer, tortilla chips, friend to help. Tip from my friend Adam, master BMW mechanic in Houston- "don't cut off your finger, buy enough beer so you don't have to go back mid project."

A very handy tip indeed. How many hours have you spent working on this?
It is important that in making this work bench, you feel comfortable. It should not be too high or too low to avoid backpain.
