Thanks it was a fun project. It’s really made me a lot more space in the shop. That’s for sure.

Built some ceiling suspended shelving. With 2x4 s and Uni strut.

Here's some pics

So I just got a new truck, and need to be able to park it in the garage when we get hurricanes or major storms. I needed more floor space so the old floor standing shelving had to go. So I mounted 2x4s to the studs with 4" spas screws. Then picked up some Uni Strut from the local big box store...

I like how the shelves are suspended from the ceiling. I might have to try a version of that in my shop.

Currently I just have them on a shelf. A vertical shelf is a great idea. I’ve been thinking of making one. One thing I have learned as I have been organizing the shop is I need to find more ways to save floor space. I live in an area that can have hurricanes so it would be nice to be able to...

I just finished this one. Here's a link to my workbench build: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=408820

I finished my receiver tool mounts for my benchtop tools. Here's a link to my workbench build: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=408820

Today I mounted the benchtop tools to the receiver platforms. This also was the final step for the workbench build. I must say this was a blast to do. So here's the final pictures. Special thanks to SteveO for the inspiration. Thanks for following along guys.

I haven't given much thought to that. Probably a sacrificial sheet of plywood or Masonite.

Yes sir! That looks nice. Something like that would be just right.

Thank you sir! This was a fun build it took almost a year. I'm just about finished however, I plan on building one with laminated 2x4s as the top for my dad and I'm kicking around the idea of doing another thread.

I welded some tool mounts for my workbench I've been working on. Here's a link to my workbench build: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=408820

So today I had enough time to weld the tool platforms together. Hopefully I can take off the edges and get some primer on them tomorrow.

Today I did the layout work and cut the metal for the benchtop tool mounts to hook up to my workbench. Here's a link to my workbench build: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=408820

Yahoo, another cold front came in to town! So to capitalize on it I did some layout work and cut the steel for the tool platforms I was able to get the holes drilled as well. Tomorrow I hope to have all the sharp edges taken off and every thing welded up.

Thank you sir! It was a fun day in the shop that’s for sure.

I've had excellent results with Amdro

After A few months of heat indexes in the 110s, South Texas finally got a cold front. So back out to the shop I go. I decided to put some plywood in the space between the bottom of the cabinets and the top of the work bench. After a few beers some stain and faux glaze I came up with a weathered...

I have the Hobart 210mvp and it far out welds the Titanium 125 except for one thing portability. At 15lbs and the size of a lunch box and no gas cylinder you can put it in the RV or a Jeep and it could save the day out on the trail or the campground if you have a large enough inverter. Here's...
