I just registered to this board on Monday and have been reading quite a bit on here.
I have been thinking about building a flow bench for a few years, and now I'm going to go ahead and start the project.
One thing I have seen here is that most people build the bench out of plywood or MDF, is there a reason why you prefer wood over steel?
I have access to all the equipment I would need to make it out of steel (CNC laser, CNC brakes, Band saws etc.) and also the material at a discounted price. But I don't have any wood working tools or access to it, so for me it wood be easier to make it out of steel.
