Let's See Your Workbench

Here is what you can see in mine, it is full of projects in various stages, and it is never completely clear.

2000 sq ft of space and all I have for now is this tiny thing in the corner:



Come to think of it, I took that down to level the floor with gravel! Oh well, back to the drawing board.

I noticed that...I also think I saw some welders in some shops...that and gas fumes not so good....but really any spark given enough pent up fumes and Kabooom....You're right.

I keep my Miller next to my gas cans but all the welding gets done outside. The shed has wood floors too.

One thing that pops out as i look at all the pics, lots of us are a little hazardous (myself included) when it comes to storing the flamables in our work areas.

Flammables are bad enough. Add a little black powder and lots of smokeless (gun) powder and it gets worse.

Lee that looks like a REALLY nice start to your shop/upstairs all open or gettign sectioned off for living storage work shop??

Make sure to get additional skirt boards under them to keep critters from getting under the slab when ya eventually get some concrete in there. It took 8 or 9 years for me to get the concrete in mine and I ended up re-doing the stairs going up into my 2nd floor. It was a straight staircase that went into the middle (spot like yours but stairs went straight up along back wall. I took them out and put in a set like yours in the corner tho.

16 ft workbench from leftover plywood and 2x4s. Now if I could just get to it

12-15 years ago I made a few shop tables from some 4x8 sheets of 3/4" w/laminate with 2x6 apron and legs. They've remained sturdy as heck over the years and were very inexpensive to put together. I've got 'em for assembly and also for a very large outfeed table for the cabinet saw. I made sure to leave plenty of "overhang" from the apron for being able to clamp all the way around the tables.

These shots were of the work of course, but you can see a bit of the tables. I'd still build them the same way today, they've worked so well.

Big Green Egg table I bet!

Big Green Egg table I bet!

Started out as a bunch of cedar 2 x 4's

But not mine, regrettably. It was for a buddy, though...so that's almost as good...and the shop smelled great with all the processing of the cedar during the build.

How could I show you my work bench? I haven't seen it in a while my self. I have seen little pieces every now and then but mostly it has pretty good camo.
