I'm in the same boat as you. I'm using foam because you can get away with much lighter benchwork, I'm using 1x3"s , 1/4" ply and an around the walls shelf brackets. The big idea of using foam is it gives you a lightweight but strong benchwork, and you can add to it or carve into it, easily create mountains, valleys, streams, culverts etc. Much lighter than the old Ply and Plaster methods. I'm sure you'll get many replies on this. Also feel free to search the archives, this questions been covered alot in the past. <br /> <br />Good luck, Dave
