L-Girders, Joists, and Risers (Oh, my)!

Only one phrase was needed for me to know which type of benchwork I wanted to build.  

"With L-girder type benchwork, you don't need to be a carpenter..."

Yeah. I'm no carpenter. And the more I read about L-girder benchwork, the more I liked it. It's very forgiving, versatile, agile and it takes less material than, say, open grid. So, I made a shopping list and, with the help of Mike and the family pick-up, we headed to the home improvement store.

This pile of sticks and foam will soon be benchwork
With Gerry Leone guiding me, I was soon on my way...
