I’ve done a moderate amount of woodworking while sitting on (tiled) bathroom floor: you’ll probably want a pillow or floor cushion — NOT one of your nice ones!!! — to sit on.

But — still catching up with the blog backlog (good writing!) — so maybe you’ve addressed this…

Thanks for your comment! Yeah, I think that your observation is correct. And it’s intentional! My workspace is basically a rectangle about 5 feet deep and 7 feet wide. So I really need to maximize my workspace. Should I need a bigger benchtop, I can just lean my slab up against the wall and put a sheet of plywood on top of the trestles. In fact, I might just keep a 24″ wide sheet of thick plywood just for that purpose. But my guess is that 10″ should be sufficient for most of my woodworking tasks.

As an aside, what is intriguing me is your approach to minimizing the footprint of your shop. The sawing trestles seem to offer that advantage.
