Hey all. I know it's been a while since I've posted, but I thought I'd update my build thread with a few more pictures. I used DFA's ideas to make a rolling workbench out of materials that I was comfortable with; wood. I used a piece of edge glued oak that I found in an abandoned warehouse. I...

The whole work surface can more than support my weigh, plus some. I've had over 400lbs on it at one time. I was pretty impressed! I like that metal frame you made. That is waaayyyy too heavy duty for what I need.

I have been browsing this forum for quite some time, and decided it was finally time to register now that I have actually started to work on the garage. My garage is a two car, 25' x 25' space with an 11' x 11' area off the back (L shaped?) Anyways, it's my goal to finish off the back section...
