First part of workbench finished

[thetastelingers]

I sold my stainless table, so I could build a proper workbench.
Finished height is 42" with 1/4" steel top.
I had a hard time deciding on a top. First I was going to do a kitchen countertop, then a buther block, but I got the steel for free, so that was a no-brainer.
I haven't decided what to do in the corner. I thought about a different height table, or cabinet, but haven't come up with a good use for the corner yet, so I am waiting for a brain storm.
If anyone has any good ideas....shoot them my way.
Thanks

If you are going to use the chair on a regular basis, I would build a corner shelf unit to put the fridge on and a TV above that. At least I am assuming that is a fridge being held down by a bucket.

LOL yeah the fridge is being held down by the bucket.
Thanks for the idea. It may be the only logical thing to do to that corner.

I plan on breaking up some 1/8" steel, or 14ga aluminum treadplate here at work, mounting it on the wall as a shelf especially for those parts drawers.

Yes it is an Elocker. Waiting patiently for me to install it in my tacoma.
Good eye.

I like your paint job! Maybe you could find a set of intermediate drawers and build them into the corner? Extra storage? Maybe the fridge on top and a recycle bin under it? Wow, I could think of a few things I could use the space for. Just send it to me and I'll use it!

For sure. Cause running up and down the stairs to check on stuff is overrated.

The splatter paintjob was a result of me standing there with alot more paint than I needed for the trim, and thinking "I have never done a splatter paintjob before"

LOL@ sending the space....wouldn't that be cool?

Not a lot of blood was lost during this build.....

Thanks for all the thoughts for the corner. Im sure it will hit me sometime as I am sitting down there contimplating the next move.

I also got a carnival mirror for my birthday I have to stain, and mount.
Pics of that when I get finished with it.
