work bench, or work of art?

[motorheadjohn]

Here is a few pictures of last weekend's project. I still have 2 more coats of finish to put on the top, but it is basically done. The butcher-block top was a freebie from a friend, but if you had seen it you would not believe it's the same piece of wood! Had to use 60-grit sandpaper in my air-powered in-line sander to get all the old finish off. These photos have 1 coat of new polyurethane on the top, and 2 on the bottom.

I built, welded, and painted the steel angle-iron framework myself. I don't know how I ever lived without my MIG welder.

The footies are plywood, to prevent scratching up the garage floor (yes, I'm that ****).

WOW!!! Nice job on the frame! Aren't you worried about scratching it up when you work on it though?

Where's the ground clamp go?

 

[motorheadjohn]

LOL, I think I will probably only use it for light stuff and hardware storage. The all-wood bench behind it gets all the heavy and greasy stuff.

I have a separate welding table, not pictured, but what I really want is one of these from TP!

That is sharp. Get a couple of stools, and it would make perfect garage bar!

Now you've gone and done it DynoDave. I been thinking I need a keg-o-rator for a while now. Maybe it's time I step up!

Nice job, but I agree that it's too pretty to use as a work bench. They said it right when you should use it as a garage bar.

Great minds think alike!!!

Where in your apartment would your wife let you put it?

b-e-a-utiful!

that is beautiful. I would love to have a table like that. Since I only have room for one table it has to be able to do it all so it can't be that nice.
