I did try to do that.. only thing is... You would need a at least a two foot dropped, but doing so.. it weaken the bench.. from the pounding, the slamming and the dropping of computers, plus, if You decide to torch anything and it falls in.. well.. it could end up in the bucket down at the bottom.. best to do it flat.. works great.. You maybe have to remove the screen once every month.. I do it about almost twice a month as I do about six tons of computers. and such.

hope that helped..
