Bench grinder stand, new lights and cabinets

[Threadkiller]

Hey all, I did a couple things in the garage yesterday and I thought I'd share. I just moved in to my first house early November and I am still situating where I want things in the garage. Yesterday I put in the flueorscent lights, made a bench grinder stand out of some exhaust tubing, plate steel and my spare from my Camaro that is useless now because I can no longer run a spare with the wheels I have, and I put up the organizer and Harbor freight cabinet. The cabinet is actually pretty decent quality for the price and if anyone is thinking about it, I would definitely say go for it.

I built my stand about the same way, works good......why can't you use the spare if needed?

You mean besides the fact that he just welded a post to the middle of it?

I sure hope you didn't weld on the rim with the tire mounted!!!! They can go Boooommmm when welding on them mounted.

It's still useable, just be more like a gladiator chariot.

My wheels are different widths front and rear so i cant bring the front wheel to the back or the back wheel to the front if i got a flat cause it would put a lot of strain on the true trac I have in the rear. So if it ends up with a flat I have AAA lol
