Benchwork questions

MM...

Good suggestion - I have a friend who built a layout with the metal studs - very quick and easy to work with. Only disadvantage - lots of duct tape required to cover sharp edges...

With respect to the PVC pipe, is there a commercially available part that can make a corner? I.e. how do you handle the leg attachment at a corner? I know there are "Y" joints available, but Tees and 3-ways?

Got me! I forgot that part, because the last time I worked with them, we covered them with drywall when we were done.

Yes, there are T's and 3-ways; in fact, they are often made specifically for those who are building lawn furniture. Home Depot carries a very nice line. I used them to make the snake cages.
