New garage time!

It looks like your tubing is 1/4" wall. I don't think you need that leg in the front center. I would remove it as it's just going to be in the way of moving stuff/junk in and out of under the work bench. If strength concerns you then I would just add another piece of tubing horizontally to strengthen it. Good looking bench!

Nice job !! You always have the ability to get things done on the fly !! I have the same welder. Do you use the Argon gas with it or just use the plain wire ?

Just wire, don稚 want the hassle of dealing with gas. I知 far from a good welder, but it痴 good enough to get the job done.

Time for paint!

Nice job. I do need to get me a small welder to play with. I have a vice that needs a table.

It really does come in handy. Even for little stuff that needs repair. To buy a workbench that size would have been super expensive. Sure it'd be better made, but that'll suit my needs for now.

Nice project and looks good.

That leg isn't short, the others are tool long.

I agree on both accounts... get rid of the leg and nice bench!

I built shelves using angle. Welded plates (squares the size of the angle) that I tapped to 3/8-16. Each leg has a bolt and a hex nut to lock them when all leveled and the bolt ends are in contact with the concrete. Not anchored down, just sitting there.

Siding came yesterday. Nice crane truck put them in the yard. He seemed a bit new at the remote crane opperation but he didn't hit anything. It was a bit windy yesterday so we waited until today. Got a half of the left side done. I'm really glad we started on that side because there's a learning curve on keeping your screws strait. I didn't even realize it as I walked down the unlevel plank on the pump jacks. Plus reaching made me go down as well.
