Ended up putting another flip down bench at opposite end of island bench, combined they give me an extra 810mm x 710mm. Very handy I think.

I put some pegboards on either end of the shelf, I thought might as well maximise the space. Might be a good little nook for a 3D printer I've been thinking about getting. Also knocked this up the other day for my +13mm drill bits I had loose in a drawer. Nothing fancy, gets the point across.

I wasn't liking how this middle shelf looked, it was a bit cluttered. So I thought hey might as well get some more bench space and pegboard surface area.

I was thinking of maybe making an extension to my island bench just to clear the main work area and have the tools on the side. A little bit of googling later I discovered these folding brackets. I thought I'll give them a go, $20 delivered off ebay and $20 of timber and it works a treat. I'm...

I've recently been keen to work on some small engines, maybe make a kart or barstool racer for fun. So I was looking at some rubber at the local hardware shop, something oil resistant and maybe chequered for a little extra grip. Almost tripped over a pallet with these bbq mats on it, couldn't...

I ran a power cable to my island bench so I could plug in some chargers for the bikes. Bit more convenient now.

I finally got around to purchasing a motorcycle lift. Does the trick nicely, paint finish is great and build quality is pretty good 👍. It lifts unnecessarily high but might come in handy for my old spine, no more working on the floor for me. Still plenty of room to work around it 360...

😃 lol Cheers. Go for it Mate, I got the idea off pinterest. 👍 Definitely had a subscription, I miss that mag.

Cheers 😃, it looks a bit hectic sometimes but mostly tidy.

Had some spare time at work last week and surprise surprise I made some more drawers. I think that might be enough for now. Not really anymore space to use up. Which is good.

Knocked this firepit up a few years back, emergency birthday present for the bosses wife 😆. He was happy. He came running around to my fabshop with horse shoes and said what can we do.

Good stuff, any plans on what you'll be riding?

I had time today to finish painting the new drawers black, it was nice and sunny and dried pretty quick. Here's how my work benches sit now. Everything has its place. Might look a bit cluttered to some.

Finished my other extension power board, fit nicely on the tower drawers I made earlier. Also picked up one of these Chicago Air silent air compressors. It is damn quiet I must say. It's good for 120psi, it's all out in 10 seconds though before it has to refill. I don't mind I only need it...

I like where this is headed Matt 🤘

I just can't leave any gaps lately. I've gone drawer crazy. It's only costing me $10 for the drawer slides and $4 for a handle so the price is right.

Finished the two drawers for my shelf. Gave them a coat of grey. Also made the last two deep drawers to replace the tubs. Much more usable space now. Will paint soon. Had my lil helper there with me too.

On a slight tangent, I made this ammo box power source a few years back. I know you can buy small battery boxes already made but this was a little more fun. It just sits in the middle of camp and people can charge there devices from it.

She's a good little helper 😃 gave the drawer a bit of a weight test.

My camping batteries live on shelves when not in use, I thought I might put them on a permanent trickle charge. I've always been a big fan of Noco gear with all my batteries so I picked up their 2 x 2 amp charger. Also had a bit of alloy chequer plate laying about so it made a nice mounting bracket.
