A steel car wheel has also been used as a base. The powder measure is bolted to the side of the top flange. A steel office desk provides storage and versatile mounting space: a bench vise can be bolted on top, sizers clamped on with c-clamps. The press could work on the desk if a drawer is removed. A wooden frame around the desk supports overhead lights.Ritchienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-32375893431840566562014-06-17T19:56:24.065-04:002014-06-17T19:56:24.065-04:00Spike, the benches are from a company called Sevil...Spike, the benches are from a company called Seville Classics. I got them at my local <a href="http://www.samsclub.com/sams/ultra-heavy-duty-workbench/prod1490086.ip?navAction=" rel="nofollow">Sam's Club</a>. They're very sturdy: 1.75" maple butcher block top, steel legs and frame. I think Sam's said shipping weight was 200 pounds, but they weigh about 130. <br /><br />The company's page is <a href="http://www.samsclub.com/sams/ultra-heavy-duty-workbench/prod1490086.ip?navAction=" rel="nofollow">here</a>.SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-21548097128622727392014-06-17T19:24:17.706-04:002014-06-17T19:24:17.706-04:00Nifty looking workbench.

We have a couple of old office-tyoe chairs in there that roll around and it's a very good thing. <br /><br />Alien - I like that idea. Dust gets into cabinets, too, but it has to be better.<br /><br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-32209995495539037472014-06-17T13:15:15.395-04:002014-06-17T13:15:15.395-04:00I can only imagine how hard it is to think of poss...I can only imagine how hard it is to think of possible storage solutions for your tools. It’s nice to know that you browsed ideas over the net. I really hope you’ve found the best storage system by this time. Anyway, having cabinets and drawers is the best to do. It won’t just keep your tools and projects, it will also prevent your stuff from accumulating dust and dirt. Any updates? :)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.worldpackagingco.com/Corrugated-Shipping-Boxes.html" rel="nofollow">Clay Delgado @ World Packaging Inc.</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716972421427853615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-14542301491519699302014-06-17T06:31:46.886-04:002014-06-17T06:31:46.886-04:00Cabinets, not shelves.

Even running the handle allows you to move with the arc of the pull.<br />Only took me 35 years at the bench to figger that one out...doubletroublehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04378163493817522427noreply@blogger.com
