Lets see your workbench

[TwoBytes]

I have a bunch of German Stahlwille screwdrivers that are really nice, and I think they have a cool logo...

Could be good for one of your drawers Unruh

Unruh: great job on the bench.

here's a few of my favorites.

I actually thought about that as well!!

I've been looking fot Troy Bilt stickers for an older mower I've been working on.
You made I checked for Binford stickers on ebay and I found one large enough for the belt cover. I think it's pretty funny. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Binford-To...hash=item33e968c3b3:m:mX8n71-II_xuPxMaAY2zhSQ

Goes right inline the fact they just started airing Home Improvement episodes on Laff TV.

Finished the rolling assembly bench...

 

[ProMetalShop]

So who know's anything about this beast. Was told it was from England...no way to confirm. No names, patents, numbers, etc...

5 feet 8 inches long.

12 inches wide.

3 inches tall

4 hardy holes that are different sizes from each other. Smallest just under 1 1/2 inches, largest around 2 inches.

Weight = heavy...I'm guessing more than 250 lbs.

It looks similar to a Pexto plate, for excepting Pexto stakes, however a lot larger. Great for blacksmithing, or panel shaping.

I have a few benches, and most have to move about the shop, most I built, and nothing fancy, just each has a job to do. View attachment 1

Was in the local Rona( owned by Lowes ) the other day and see they had American built Craftsman tool boxes there. Any of you fellas seen them yet ? What do think of them ?
scarrylarry

I also seen them in Reno Depot (Quebec/Ontario box store that’s now also in Calgary.

I am hoping they also get into the wrenches etc.

Heres mine, nothing fancy just 1/4" plate top for a welding table. I find its a bit too high at 41" so I think I'll drop it down some and ad angle iron under the top because it sags a bit in the middle.

Looks like a nice working bench ! !

Nice camouflage. Can you see my beer fridge? It is under the bench just left of the drill press cabinet.

I like your setup... especially that ice blue Victory Kingpin photo above your bench.

 

[tthornto]

So I bought a Harbor Freight workbench off offer-up for $40....

I'm planning on making two more drawers for the bottom. What Logo's should I use?

Cornwell
Craftsman
Proto
Knipex
Blackhawk
Williams
Blue Point

?????

The Obvious Logo choice...

 

[Steve V.]

LOL

Hmmm. I should have seen this coming...lol

 

[Blind1]

How about your own logo, or a combination of all of the above, since it’s a frankenbench.

 

[1foxracing]

I just refinished both of mine.

 

[JMartel]

Dirty already, but 4'x6' assembly table is completed. Doubles as tablesaw outfeed table. Have an air compressor in the closest cabinet powered by the switch. French cleats on the closest end for hanging stuff. Drawers and doors on opposite side identical to the shown side.

 

[woodvice]

1FoxRacing, is the base cabinet for your second bench from a bank? I have a few benches built up from LeFebure teller
cabinets which are similar. Brutally heavy but rock solid. I have them capped with hardwood butcher blocks. I found the cabinets in a building salvage place and they were from a bank that got absorbed. The cabinets would work best for somebody who is taller.

Yes, it's branded Diebold. A friend of mine use to do maintenance for a local bank company and use to bring these types of cabinets home all the time. He gave me this one about 20 years ago and it's easily survived 3 house moves over the years.
I'm 6'2" so it's the perfect working height for me. Wish I could get keys for the 2 top drawers so I could actually lock it up.

A genuine lock shop should be able to make you keys if you can see any key codes on the exterior of the lock. Otherwise a locksmith can drill it out and replace the whole lock.

See... even easier than you thought!

Sweet! What year and model Duc?

 

[sidd_V]

A time ago I saw a picture of a workbench/drawer cabinet combined with a electric pallet truck. This to be able to move it arround to have a mobile workbench for maintenance jobs.
I Am not able to find that picture again.
Does anyone have something like it or some more information about it?

 

[chassell]

It's a 1993 900 Supersport. 944 kit, ferracci pipes. It decided to eat it's oil gallery plug, hence the teardown.
I see you have a kz650...I've got a 1979 KZ650SR.
Also a '99 BMW R1100RS

I needed a lightweight benchtop in a relatively clean area of my garage shop so I put this together. It is a Kobalt toolbox surrounded by Gladiator cabinets. I made a benchtop and added the riser for the cabinet. One more riser to go but the bench is operational now.

Nice. My KZ650 will be getting some love soon so it's roadworthy again. Then it will be torn completely down for a major resto-mod rebuild.

I am guessing this came from a bank? Most Diebold codes were not published but I can look.

Could this have something to do with...Last year they closed and gutted a bank up the road. They threw all the safety deposit box in a big roll off dumpster and all I could think was, I'm sure someone would've bought and used them. Are they not allowed to go to the public or something?

 

[1foxracing]

I did order keys from https://www.cubiclekeys.com/diebold-r-furniture-keys.html that bdbecker originally posted a link to. Also thanks to Jeff for sending a PM. I have 2 keys now and the work perfect!

The owner probably decided that the "juice was not worth the squeeze". Saving stuff like that takes time and time is money.

I decided I needed a roll around workbench, picked up a used commercial cart from a defunct plant, four inch zerk fitted wheels, plywood from a garage sale that was free if I took the formica top with it( it was pink) it went to the trash dumpster, so with a few carriage bolts, some glue, and a day and a half this is what I have, I keep the circular saw, chop saw, belt sander, pad sander, numerous clamps inside. Height was set to coinside with the table saw for larger materials. Now I can roll it outside from the shop into the carport...less mess inside..

 

[kelchm]

Thanks for sharing everyone, lot's of fantastic ideas here.

Where’d you guys get the vinyl for the refrigerators to look like a tool box?

My fridge was originally designed to masquerade as a toolbox including the top 2 drawers being actual tool drawers. It is a whynter brand that home depot sells here is a link

Of course, the price for it new is outrageous but I got lucky and found one that must have been damaged at the store and was being sold at a warehouse reclamation store, and even then, it was more than I wanted to spend.

The fridge still worked so I took off the skins and bent and pounded them back into shape. I then repainted to my appropriate preferred green color. I also removed the wheels and built appropriate boxes to mount it so that it would fit under the bench at the right height.

I built this one in my dad's garage, almost all the materials were re-claimed.
