Workbench


I finally put the trim on my workbench so I can snap a picture and post it. It seems to be the right dimensions (2.5' x 4.5' x 38" high) and has about a 3-4" overhang for clamping. The top is 3/4" melamine over 3/4" plywood, and it is bolted down using inserts so I can remove the top if I want. The base has wheels that flip out on the bottom so I can roll it around. My 3 kids sleep right above my workshop, so if I have to use any loud powertools I can roll it into another part of the basement and shut the door. I've done this a few times and it works pretty well. I'm not sure what I want to do with the bottom shelf... I'm sure necessity will dictate that in time.


I've spent the past few nights setting up my guitar, as you can see from all the "stuff" on it. The only problem is getting a chair that is the right height... maybe I'll take an old bar stool and saw the legs off.
