Pool noodles and you get to select the color.

Digging up a old thread. Has anybody done this yet?

I was moving things around in the shop and got tired of one of the extra fans in the shop floor. Decided to make a wall mount for the fan and take it off its base.

The plate placed on top. I did measure out the plate so it is square and where it needs to be on the frame. It feels good to have it to this stage. The plate lays nice and flat on the frame without gaps. I need some opinions. Should I, Just paint it? Galvanized Hot dipped? Powder coated...

Well, she is finally up on all fours. I just tightened slide plate bolts to hold the weight.

Finally decided to get them tacked on. They stick out some but it is minimum. Not a kicking hazard. I did position them so the caster is above the floor when it is resting on the feet. The only design flaw that I have is that the jack can only go back to the resting position if the caster wheel...

Completed assembly. The spring is a trampoline spring repurposed. By the way, if anybody has the old style harbor freight jack laying around please PM me. They switched to a new style jack and I can find the old style. I have three jacks thought I got four but can't find it.

Finally started the tack up process of the jacks for the legs. I cut the slots with a mag drill. Cutting about a 1/8" a time with annular cutter. Lucky for me the drill reached from the edge of the plate. So drill move drill and repeat and repeat. Went though 3 bits cutting the slots. That...

Its been awhile so here we go. Cut all the plate for the jacks.

I currently have a 50000 mr. heater and a 24000 btu mini split in the shop. I have the mini on 70 degrees as a lead. The Mr. is on 68 a lag. What are you thoughts. The reason I have it on 70 is the wife has a corner of the shop. The B_tch Corner as she says.

Helicoil.

Well with that done I put some attention back on the table. I decided to install the lower shelf. I decided to cover the bottom with flat expanded metal. I hope that it doesn't decide to start to bow with weight placed on top of it. I may place some more supports under the log runs. The only...

I think that this was a good use of unused space.
