Work Bench Upgrade

[Bib Overalls]

25 years ago I was working at the old Homestead AFB and needed a workbench. I knew we were going to be moving on at some point so I decided to have a local fabrication shop build one out of steel. Something I could take with me when I moved on.

I did the design on graph paper and the shop built the bench spot on.

I was always unhappy with the foot pads that I originally specified. So, I decided to shape and thread some blocks on my mill for adjustable feet. I always need more space so I decided to add rucks under the top for plastic storage bins. I got lucky. The spacing came out on the spot. The rack holds 24 boxes, 12 on each side. I'm filling them up quick.

That has to be the beefiest storage bin rail setup I have ever seen.
Awesome!

I like your use of space... great idea. Where did you source the adjustable feet?

I found the ones I used on eBay. $40 for four including shipping. That said, I suggest you Google search for "adjustable leveling feet" and "adjustable machine mounts." AmazonCom has several vendors.
