Stainless Steel Bench

Looking to buy a stainless bench for cleaning fish. Don't know if I should just get a sheet and make a timber base or just buy a commercial kitchen bench. Any info would be great.

 Not sure if you got any down there, but you can find some gems in salvage yards. Or check gumtree.

Hard decision, those plastic-topped trestle tables from bunnings are much nicer on the knife and fold up when not in use ;)

For my 4ft Blow Mold

Wed, 2012-08-22 21:55

For my 4ft Blow Mold table(filleting table) i cut up a couple of my old PVC rod holders to about 30cm each and slipped them on onto each leg to raise the height up a bit. Works good on hard surfaces.

Or alternativley when i was on a beach i dug a hole for me to stand in so the table was the right height hahahaha :D

Lol Till, that cheeky bugger would say that

 

Good idea Buz, I set the table up on the driveway so might give that idea a go but now with the new house I am looking at this stainless idea & customised height

Wed, 2012-08-22 23:38

I picked up a 1800x700 granite bench top that had a tiny chip in it for $100 of gumtree and put some legs on it, works sweet. Just an option other than stainless?

Look out for home renovations

Thu, 2012-08-23 04:59

Maybe put the word out amongst friends in Perth for a stainless steel kitchen sink from home renovations. I did this a while back, took a couple of weeks with a few leads and then a ripper showed up on the verge just down the street from me. Just got to build a frame for it when I get back to Perth.  It has a sink in the middle which I will make a cover for, but there is nearly a meter of stainless either side of the sink.  Something like that should be big enough for the fish you guys catch:D

They have catering equip sqales frequently. Picked mine up around Christmas for $280 (2m long x 600mm deep) and 900 high so it doesnt do your back in.
