if you build 2x4' framed sections for the benchwork top, you can put diagnonal (36-48" would do for your hight) supports every 3-4'. preferably every 4' with a 1x4" board (flat) on the top of the support to hold the ajoining modules. for better support, you could run a 1x4" (flat along the front of the supports. <br /> <br />This would give you the ability to do each section as a module on a hieght that's easier to work with, 54" is pretty high to try building on. once you have a module finished, place it in position and bolt it to it's ajoining modules. if you are worried the modules could slide off the front, then place a simple 1x2" to the front of the support to make a lip. <br /> <br />Jay
