Bench

Had to reload my computer and lost all of my fabrication pics so this actually starts towards the end.

The frame is 1 1/2" 12 ga square tubing. The tabs are from A&A. Clamped a 6" channel to the forks of my forklift and clamped the tubing to the channel to fixture it. Had it powdercoated, which gets us to here;

Screwed to wall;

Plugs for screw holes;

Brace rods are 1/2" stainless. Drilled and tapped for 5/16" heims;

Stainless spacers;

Together;

W/butcherblock top from LL;

Need to build a backsplash and do something to protect the wall. Have a couple ideas, just letting them roll around in my head till I decide what's best.

Nice clean job. Good attention to detail. What's the size?

Nice work. And it's adjustable.

What kind of wood is the butcherblock, and are you going to put a finish on it?

Looks good... You like red?

Looks great but how does it fold down easily? Do you have to remove all of the rods each time?

It's maple from Lumber Liquidators. I'm debating finishes. Right now tongue oil's in the lead.

That just sort of happened. When my buddy did the floor I let him choose the color. It's sort of a tomato soup orange in real life. Got a good deal on the toolbox so the orange and red motif was started. Not pictured is the red HF motorcyle lift in the middle of the garage.

Actually I'll never fold it down. Made the rods adjustable because the wall's not plumb.

I didn't know lumber liquidators sold tops, I thought they only sold flooring.
