Dad used to have so much stuff in the back garage that there was just a little trail from the door over to the workbench.

He had so many Pontiac Tripowers that he used to use them for door stops.

We lived in that house starting in 1969 and I never saw the top of that workbench until he passed away in 2005. He always had it covered with a protective piece of cardboard and then all the stuff he was working on piled on top of that.

I cleaned it off and removed the cardboard - and was amazed to find a highly polished piece of beaverboard, with 1.5" brushed angle aluminum all around the periphery, with mitered corners and stainless flathead screws countersunk until they were flush.

It was absolutely beautiful. And I had no idea.
