One is 3/4 plywood, a full 4x8 because I have a row of bins along the back of it, so it's not as deep as that seems. Then, I put a 1/4 inch fiberboard or something like that down, to be smooth. Soon after, I had some spare vinyl click together flooring pieces and covered it with them, they're easy to clean oil and grease off, and have proved to be pretty indestructible.

A few years ago, I bought three old chemistry lab type tables, the massive black top things with 4 inch wooden legs. Taken from a local high school, $75 each. Two went in the garage with 5 inch casters put on, and one is in my telescope workshop for optical testing. Pretty much indestructible, immune to anything, and they weight about 200 pounds each, so they don't move much even on those casters. I have the lathe, drill press, miter saw and grinder mounted on one that I can wheel out into the open part of the garage when needed.
