Picked up some solid core doors today

[zcar751]

Saw them next the Northern tool on sunday so I went back today and picked up 5 of them for $8 each. the largest was 42"x84" the other four were 36"x82". Now I just need some ideas of what to do with them.

Work bench, casket, fire wood

You got a storage unit just for the doors?

Workbench top or shelves. Sell a couple for profit.

I'd take one of the narrow ones and make a foldable workbench. (something like this from Handyman Magazine)

The wide one I'd think I'd rip in half and make a work bench. 42" is just a little wide for a work bench.

Could also turn one into a big assembly table if you have the space.

If you were over here taking into account recent weather I'd suggest using them to build an Ark.

Use for a workbench! I got some from habitat restore the other month. I have a workbench in progress steeve-o style with scrap toolboxes from work. I started a build thread the other month that I'll resurrect eventually...


If the veneer is damaged, peel it off, stain/paint and finish with poly. Here's my bench in progress:

Solid core doors are very stable and truly flat, which makes them good for extending around a table saw, or for use with a miter saw station.

Edit: in general anything related to woodworking/carpentry where a nice flat surface is needed (assembly table, router table, drill press table...)

Workbench top or shelves.

You can't do much better than that.

Two will become part of a peminant work bench, the biggest I would like to make into a mobile work table. Maybe a fold down table or two.
uniballer that's my garage.

I posted this in another thread. I have been using a solid core door atop two 2-drawer file cabinets for my electronics test bench. Put industrial steel shelves atop the door.

You should start a tread about your garage and projects...
