I built mine out of 4x6s with 2x6 bracing for a solid base. I didn't try to make it pretty.
The top is 3/4 plywood with hard masonite on top and a piece of angle iron on the front edge. I usually keep a sheet of corrugated cardboard on the top to soak up spills.
I figure it's one of those tools I'm going to beat the hell out of so making it stout was the priority. For the vice I designed it so I could lag 3 of the 4 mounting hole into the 4x6s.

I've had it for about 25 years. I like it.
