My Workbench Build

[BigGarage]

I finally got my scanner up & running and was able to scan many printed pics. Here are some I took when I was building my workbench back in probably 2012 or 2013. I needed a 4th pic in the 2nd grouping so I showed my other reason for having 3 100lb. propane tank in my garage. One day I just may hook up that old stove and cook on it.

I have over 200 pics that thankfully I had printed out before a ransomware virus encrypted the pics on my last computer. Now that I have the scanner working again I can post many pics of garage projects I've done.

Nice simple workbench, functional and without frill.

I love that stove... would make a great shop heater with some safety mods!

Like the dolly too.

The stove is a Round Oak. From Wikipedia; The Round Oak Stove Company was founded in Dowagiac, Michigan in 1871 by Philo D. Beckwith. Beckwith cast his first stove around 1867 to heat his struggling foundry and shortly after, the Michigan Central Railroad ordered the heaters for its depots between Detroit and Chicago.

I made the dolly for it and it is very heavy duty.

Seeing these pics in digital for the 1st time is what made me decide to paint the floor. It was ugly.

I just went out and took a couple more pics. I thought I had legs for it somewhere and they are sitting on top of it.

nice bench and just a beautiful appliance. Wish things were still made as they were. I have a 1939 GE fridge that runs just fine...

I put the old stove up in the garage attic and now have an old cast iron tub on it. It's going out to the curb on Thursday. If anyone wants it (tub) speak up now.

Around here, cast iron tubs are selling for no less than $250. People (including myself) are restoring them en masse.

I paid $225 for this one:
