No money, so can't make the tools I want. LOL Here are a few freebies that will mount in the receivers on the work bench. Anvil Cheap Chinese vice found in the garage. :dunno: Shot bag stand:

I have not managed to get anything done in the garage. I scraped together the money to buy a quart of rustoleum red primer and black paint today. We will see when I can get back to work on it. If its not raining tomorrow I need to change the oil in my vehicle tomorrow (in the...

Trailer would be ideal (trailer brakes too!), but a dolly would work. I towed my 56 from Sevierville, TN to Mountain Home, AR with my explorer on a dolly. Marked and dropped the driveshaft. No issues at all on the trip. Just do not pull in where you have to back up and your fine. I took a...

On a side note to my above post. I love having my air tools out where I can just grab them now. Home made air tool racks.

I agree with the others. A lot of it depends on your use. I am in the long drawn out process of remodeling my garage (no budget). Most of my tools are in tool boxes. I am completing my 500 pound steel workbench currently. Above it will be some pegboard for the most common items I will need...

Not feeling good at all today. :( I did manage to get two NEW Task Force detail guns for free though. :bounce: They should work for what I need them for. I am not painting a car.

Thank you sir. I appreciate you taking the time to explain. :)

Great use of a small space. If you don't mind me asking, how did you get electricity out to your shed? My shed (if I ever get to build it) will be around 30' away from my house (in the back yard).

Getting bored with this yet? I have a ways to go still. All leveling legs installed now: Back and side bars on. Back and side bars on. Needs more welding on the bars and will be ready to bring home. EDIT: It is home in my garage now. Very easy to unload with my engine hoist. It is...

This is low (NO) budget. Epoxy primer and acrylic enamel paint would be the way to go here. Just way too expensive. :willy_nil Rattle cans are cheap (wal-mart=.99), but won't hold up very well. Its ok for tool racks and carts..but... :sad: I am thinking maybe get a quart of rustoleum primer...

Adjustable legs installed. Notice the cut in the round plate? Scrap from the burn table. All of this is scrap and drops. Double nuts so I can lock them in place once the table is level in my garage. All spring loaded releases and locks installed now for the receiver hitches. Still need...

Coming along.... Table top clamped on. Not nearly as thick as I wanted..but free. Straight edge sitting there. Notice the top is warped even with just skip welds? Too thin. Using heat to flatten the warped areas from welding underneath.

The other 3 spring release handles made:

Life has been in the way and I have not been around here. How goes the table build? Any updates? I did finally manage to get going on my workbench\welding table. Build pics are in my garage thread linked in my signature. I do not have room for both of those and tool storage, so its a combo...

Locking bolts for the receiver hitches: Spring loaded releases for receiver hitches (parts): Spring loaded releases for receiver hitches (assembled): Lock bolt and spring lock tacked in place: I do not want things sticking out to run into. They are all mounted "under" the frame.

adjustable legs made:

Cabinet sitting in place. Notice added shelf under center (may just be a foot rest-:dunno:) Drawers don't hit anything. Drawers don't hit anything. There is a piece of tubing sticking out of one of the receiver hitches...just for a test fit. i wanted the receiver tubes flush with the...

Thank you gentlemen. I have been up at my brother all weekend. Worn out now. We were working on a friends chevy truck. Did I mention I hate rusted suspension bolts? LOL The tool tray is awesome. Not my invention. I love it though. I brought back a small pile of 4' long 2X4s again. I didn't...

Holes for receiver pins. Getting closer:

Thank you. Minor mistake. Not enough room between the legs for the cabinets to slide in. Fixed: Welded up now and center drawer mounted: The best part? No money spent so far.
