Is this a worthwhile investment, or will I find the small size frustrating? I hope to soon be building chairs, cabinets and tables.

    Amazon is currently selling the Workmate 425 Project Center for $100. Any thoughts?

      I've had one for about 10 years and I really appreciate it's versatility. It folds up to make space, can be used as a vise, holds stock for routing, acts as a sawhorse for painting, etc., and is quite portable. What I've found is that work surfaces needed vary by the project, and there are a number of project for which the Workmate is just the ticket.

        I love mine for the versatility! I spent many years as an automotive technician and I use mine for some pretty big jobs like suspension replacements. I use it to hold my spring compressor which is typically done in a bench vise and it works great! I love it!
