I want to modify the old Workbench to give me more storage space. I originally built it with one shelf about 10" off the floor, but I'd like to make this the middle shelf and make the floor my bottom shelf. As you've guessed by now, this is a simple beast that's built out of 2x6s with a Ledger Board for the Top and a Ledger Board for the bottom shelf. Unfortunately the LBs are attached with 16d nails (AFAIR). Detaching the front of the shelf s/b simple enough, but getting at the bottom LB will be painful. So I was thinking I could put a jack under it and pull it away from the wall. I know this is highly unlikely to work, as it will either destroy the wall and/or the Ledger Board. I'd probably be better off just cutting it out and putting in a new shelf, but a guy can dream.
Your thoughts would be appreciated, but a fancy roll around WB is not in the cards for now. Although I think I'll give it an MDF top while I'm upgrading my space.
