I would think that steel studs would make nice stable benchwork, though I would have a file with me while cutting and assembling to make sure I softened all sharp edges. I know that I have suffered many scrapes and lacerations(one required about 7 stitches in the palm of my hand while working around(not on) metal studs. <br />If the metal studes don't work out, I doubt that totally exposed wood studs will cause mech of a termite problem, since it is out where you will be able to observe it continually(tell the wife you need to work on the layout every day so as to monitor for termites) and the wood will not be in direct contact with the soil(I assume).
