I found a few old threads discussing various options but not seem suitable to my needs. I want to put a small stainess steel surfaced workbench on the outdoor patio of my small apartment since I need a place to mount a vise and no amount of money seems to let me find a small tool cart that has a vise-mountable flat surface (Snap On KRSC10 is the only one I found but is discontinued). It seems like every week I have some small project that needs a vise and I wind up holding the object in vise grips in one hand and half-assing it.
So, I decided my best alternative is a small workbench that I can put on my patio. Needs to be stainless steel so it can deal with humidity. It won't get rained directly on since the patio is covered.
I'd like something that's around 36" wide by 18" deep. I can't do much bigger since I don't have the space. A bit smaller is okay. Weight should either be under 100 pounds total, or have the frame separate from the surface with neither weighing more than 100 pounds each. No wheels/casters.
I don't care what the price is, as long as it's not made in China/Taiwan. Made in US or Canada preferred. Open to Germany but doubt they make anything like this for export.
I want something very nice that I can use in my future home garage as an extra, semi-portable worksurface. Future home garage will have a large workbench and this would supplement it and be moved around the garage or house as needed to do smaller jobs (that's why I want to keep under 100 pounds).
