    Workbench tops what material HDF?? MDF Ply

    That original post specifically uses Valchromat. I'm not sure it's classed as HDF or MDF --- it's similar in production etc to regular MDF, but very heavy and relatively moisture-resistant. It's a Portuguese product (Portuguese Youtube channel Make Hands Dirty regularly used it, which made them...

    What would you charge for this?

    Consider watching on Youtube on the Essential Craftsman channel "five mistakes most contractors make". One of the things he goes into is pricing: If you get all the bids you quote on, you're asking too little. Simple figures: if you work 2000 (paid) hours a year at £15/h you make 30K gross. Now...
