I chose metal studs for a few reasons
- Weight. Metal stud work weighs next to nothing compared to wood.
- Stability. Metal studs won't warp or twist which makes squaring everything a dream.
- Clean up. There practically is no clean up. Everything is easily cut with tin snips and then bent repeatedly to separate the piece. No power tools needed, no saw dust created, no mess to clean up!
This is how I'm cantilevering the bench work off the walls. While at this point the bench work is quite flimsy, once it's tied together with more track it becomes very solid and able to support quite a bit of weight.
Tying it all together. This is what strengthens the structure. This will also serve to attach the fascia to when the time comes.
The next three shots show the progression of the staging yard bench work.
