Re: The 5 Stitches Garage.... 20x23 in FL

Well, quick little project done. I really liked all the suggestions I got for the bench I had to go with the rest of the garage. All shelving in my garage is white so did the face and back white and right now work top is gray. At some point maybe next week ill pick up some hard board and go recover this and other bench. Its to be determined if that will be gray or just stay brown ( natural ). I do have to figure out wall behind bench. I might do pegboard to hang stuff up. I also want to run some outlets over here. This won't be hard cause when I rewired garage the ceiling above the panel I put it 3 junction points to add anything in future. It will be just a matter of dropping line and wiring them up. Just havnt figured out where exactly. Well that enough for today. Good night all.

Looks good. Thats a nice work bench. I love the artwork behind it too. You can tell it was made and not bought. Now get it dirty.:bounce:

Re: The 5 Stitches Garage.... 20x23 in FL

Now, I can see your middle is free stuff. LOL. When out doing my job I always have one eye driving and other scanning for anything worth stopping. If anything one thing I'm good at it is repurposing things into something. I can parts from this and that to build stuff. I think this is why takes so long to do my builds. It could take months to acquire all parts and pieces to build a idea. I got some neat ideas coming made from this and that but trying to finish some things before I start new ones. LOL

I sa, vises to few craftsman, a morgan, few Columbians like my D44 and a Wilton. If any I would have gotten was the wilton but it wasn't a bullit. I picked up these at flea market.uploadfromtaptalk1391457260961.jpg hammer was 10 and screwdrivers where 3 each not bad cause I'm turning screwdrivers into comfort handles for my rackets. Then on way home stop by and picked up a small vise for $17 and saw a parker for $65 but still waiting for options if price worth ituploadfromtaptalk1391457402671.jpguploadfromtaptalk1391457436616.jpg

Re: The 5 Stitches Garage.... 20x23 in FL

Speaking of vises I moved the D44 in place of the shop king and moved the shop king to a painted board under the fan. I needed space and being I just clean and painted the D44 I figured it mould work well in that spot. I also got another vise too nothing crazy here just a Stanley vise. I don't know where exactly ill use this but I like clamp them down anywhere. I usually clamp a 2x4 I'm my big vises and attach them in angle or position needed.

Re: The 5 Stitches Garage.... 20x23 in FL

I went to local stores HD, Lowe's, HF and been seeing all these great new tools with these great rubber grips. There's only one problem, I have most of those same tools already and some 2 3 4 of same so. I went home and just happen to have some old hose around and light bulb went off. uploadfromtaptalk1391607191587.jpg

The orange is 3/8 pvc air hose. Red is 3/8 rubber air hose which I really like and black is old 1/2 garden hose. I ran out of hose but if anything I given theses tool new life cause they do feel so much better now and CHEAP.

Re: The 5 Stitches Garage.... 20x23 in FL

Well alittle more done on wagon today finished up tailgate and finally finished the handle. Handle is removable so I can hook it up to lawn mower and pull it around. I still have to cut some pvc tool holders since one I had cut went to my drill holders. I still got a lot of finish welding and a lot of finish grinding to do but waiting on new welder. uploadfromtaptalk1391647607373.jpguploadfromtaptalk1391647621055.jpguploadfromtaptalk1391647637655.jpg
