Thanks man. I appreciate that. After getting all the stuff I wanted its sure tight at times. I usually have plans after plans set in head if I find this or that. I always try to stay flexible with things which help being at this stage it moved 3 things to make room for one. LOL. Waiting for garage to explode. LOL.
Thank you. I appreciate that. It means a lot to know I inspire some of my followers.
Thank you 1/2 cup means a lot coming from you. Yeaaaaa... another 5 Stitches lurker out of the closet. LMFAO..... Just kidding with ya. I believe lately I found my niche in the GJ community and I'm fine with that. Thank you for taking time to read my read.
Thanks, Im a delivery driver so I see tons of stuff tossed out. I've of late seen ppl driving around neighborhood late night early morning picking so I don't find as much these days but Ive come across stuff here and there.
Thanks for stopping by. I'm spraying out of a can. This is what I been using cause it matches the old craftsman paint the best I found.
Thanks, its all depends on what it is and where. Sometimes I throw it in truck if estate or garage sale.Love how you can bring those old pieces back to life. So tell me honestly, your driving around during your work day and see a piece on the side of the road that you want, do you pull over and through it in the truck or risk coming back later with your own car
Cool trick.... Never heard of that. Gonna give it a try
Thank you.
Thank you. I absolutely love that new box. That box has become super prime restate now. That would work being the DP is right there.
Thanks, That's a great suggestion. That should be easy fix. Ill check if I have some if not I know I can get those at wally world or HF. All those I have on the bench are just cheap 2in casters.
).Thanks Bret, I glad you enjoyed it. Only issue with that box is if you put it up too high you don't have access to top and can't lock/ unlock drawers. Although, its what works best in your situation is what matters to gain more useable work bench. In mine, storage under and being able to use vise (especially the bigger one) was more important.
That's really good info to know. The good thing about those I use is they don't move well. The bad thing about them is they don't move well. LOL. I gonna get some rigid ones for the DP. I can't go with a bigger caster cause then would be too tall to fit under shelf. Do they make one in 2in?Another tip for you if using casters with swivel locks...
I stumbled upon this one purely by accident. If the casters can lock every 90 degrees, lock them at right angles as shown in this picture and the bench will not be able to move. It eliminates the need for wheel brakes or floor locks (like what I installed beforehand and never use now - wish I would have made the discovery it just a bit earlier
In my case, I lock the swivel caster at 90 degrees to the rigid casters in the back when I'm working on the bench in the middle of the room. When it's time to roll it back in its cubby, the swivel casters get locked inline with rigids to force it to roll straight in to the wall and pull back out easily.
