Wardmoto: That looks really nice. I have never in my life had any flat surface, no mater where it is, look that clean!

Very clever! I might have to leverage this idea when I get a vice

Now hold on there, that "clutter" looks suspiciously like "sorting tools to put into the fancy new toolboxes".
Come back when you not only can't find a flat surface to put something on, you can't even find a spot with less than a 30° lean that might let the thing you want to put down not slide off the bench taking a mighty pile of "really good stuff" down with it!

All laid out and ready for polishing.

Nateo for the win! I have so much space now, I am locked up...can't figure out where I want things to go. That's not a sentence you hear too much around this forum. Wifey says this isn't an excuse to fill all the drawers with tools!

Smackey, How do you like that bench? Did you happen to put it on casters or do you think it would work? I am about to replace an old Craftsman of similar style.

After a sand down and restain, followed by a coat of “glaze coat” epoxy. I think it turned out awesome. The epoxy is about 1/8” and super glossy.
Lets see more of that 4V swapped New Edge!!

Ho Lee ****. That is beautiful. Way to nice to actually use as a work surface...After a sand down and restain, followed by a coat of “glaze coat” epoxy. I think it turned out awesome. The epoxy is about 1/8” and super glossy.

IMStuner, what are your plans for the stereo setup?
I'm guessing you don't want that space taken up by speakers for the next X years... I ask because I need to find a good place to put my own stereo/amp out of the way, but still accessible for tuning and volume adjustments...Attachments
Late on the reply, but the t&g lacks rigidity and the solid feel that comes with a more solid work surface. Once it's replaced, I still might tack down some tempered hardboard as a sacrificial top layer.

LOL I'm selling them on craigslist. I definitively want my table top space.
I think I forgot to post the newest workbench addition which I made in the spring (old table is here). Again, it's a foldable one, as I don't want to run out of space if needed in my small garage.
It's made of 2x12mm plywood, with a top made of zinced metal, bent at the local steel shop where I bought it from. It's really easy to clean, and you can hold stuff with magnets on to it, and lamps with magnets stay in place.
It's measured so my small welding table (the blue on) just fits underneath. On the right side, I have a cabinet already under the other table, but I just need to weld a new base with casters on it to move it to the right side.

The new outfeed/assembly table top.

I had those speakers. Lost them in a raid at an old
Grow house many many years ago by a friend borrowing them and before things were legal. P
But my vote is mount the stereo to the ceiling of the garage. Mine is a car stereo amps head unit sat radio usb input etc mounted up
High on the way and some components in the ceiling of my garage. It keeps them out of the way yet still very use able

Nice job! What is that - about 3 layers of baltic birch?

Looks like a 1 5/8" solid multi layered door that hasn't had any holes bored yet.

I have my speakers and TV mounted to the ceiling in the middle of the garage.
My receiver and ROKU are in a cabinet that I keep open when I'm using them. Keeps the dust off when not in use and better use of space than having them on the workbench like I used to. It was some work running the speaker wires and HDMI through the attic, but worth it.

It's laminated from a couple full sheets of 3/4" baltic birch that someone was getting rid of. Its 3 layers, or 2-1/4" thick. I was going to Formica it, but I had a free can of good o.b. poly, so the whole deal cost me $4 in glue n staples.

I am so going to steal that idea for the router mount. I've been lusting for a good idea on my 10" Cman saw:The new outfeed/assembly table top.
