I don't know why you are blaming me



Truly a great project. That bench is the winner of work benches for sure.

It looks huge and I really like the kick panels for the bottom corners.

I'm really enjoying watching your progress.



Thank you

Thanks Don! Really wasn't blaming you, i actually came across Alemite benches on a gas station search, then i saw yours lol. Hey what's your opinion on doors color if main body is red, I was torn between silver or black

It looks really nice. Personally, I'd go with the ivory white like the originals but that's just me. Someone posted pictures here of a very nice original Alemite workbench some years ago: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=255609

Not sure why white didn't cross my mind, ok now I'm torn between 3 colors! Lol

If you are going with the Texaco theme then the doors should be bright white with a green accent stripe if the body goes red (imho)

Good plan with the air.
Question: do you have a full length hinge on each door?

 

[jkherd]

This is looking amazing! Great job!

First door attempt

If that is an "Attempt" come on up here! You can't get through the border but if the customs guy knows about steel projects he'll understand the "Essential" nature of you agreeing to come here and help me finish my projects while you continue to teach yourself the metal crafts. I'll bring these pic's for proof. [I can offer to bribe him with the same money I have to pay you! $000.00] Well that is my long way of saying pretty nice first attempt! Harry and yes I think I'm funny, I only have an in person audience of 1, ME!

You and me both. This is getting ridiculous. It's been what, like 1 or 2 weeks since he started? Is there anyone that works slower than this guy? I'm pretty much over it at this point. I'm not even kidding when I say as soon as he's done with it, I'm unsubscribing.
