    Industrial Metal Desks

    Anyone know where I could get a replacement Steelcase badge for the top drawer like in the pic a few posts above? I recently picked up a desk that is missing that badge but is in otherwise great condition.

    New Plier Rack

    Matt, I'm so happy with the set that I got that I want to order a set for my Dad too. Put me down for a set of black or red, whichever you get to first. Also, if you're already tracking a list for wrench racks then put me down for a set on that list too! Thanks, Dan

    Lowe's Clearance Thread 2014

    I've been watching the Bessey stuff at my local Lowe's because of this thread. They've got mostly Irwin stuff in place now but still some of the Bessey stuff on the bottom shelf. It is all marked as clearance but it's only been about 10%-25% off, not worth grabbing unless I really needed it...

    Re-purposing steel OFFICE DESK drawers for tools/storage cabinets?

    I've done just exactly that recently. I used each "box" of drawers in a workbench. I picked up a few more desks today to salvage some more drawers. If they're strong and sturdy drawers then you'll have no problem using them to hold tools, hardware, etc. I keep drills in one, my dremel and...

    What's on your walls? Neat storage ideas!

    These are two steel office book shelves that I picked up from a local city government auctioning surplus on govdeals.com. I got the pair for $6, probably because they were missing shelves. I turned them on their sides, painted them to match my recently completed workbench, and mounted them to...

    work benches... from scratch

    This is the first workbench I've built from scratch. We bought a home last year with a 36x48 pole barn. This and 2 more like it along with my tool boxes will span one of the side walls. This one will be my primary/light assembly/misc bench. it is 6' long, 30" deep, 40" high. It is made from...

    Lets see your workbench

    I'm a long time lurker and first time poster. The DYI benches on this thread and others greatly inspired me so I took the plunge. We bought a new place in August with a 36x48 pole barn. While I'm still working on getting my shop together, getting some work surfaces in place is top on my list...

    badger 5 garbage disposal leaking bottom

    I had a badger 5 fail on me just a month or so ago. It leaked, developed a small hole in the back a couple of inches up from the bottom. Thinking back I probably could have tried some JB Weld to plug it. It looked to be original from the house built 15 years ago (we just bought the house in...
