Waldon, gotta ask. How many pneumatic tires do you have between your tractors and tool boxes. You'll have to hire a kid down the street to keep em all pumped up! :laughing:

Ha, Ha, Ha , I have around 100 tires to keep air in around here. It is rare anything goes flat. Maybe one or two a year and that is not bad. I fix them myself , usually a easy fix.
Today I finished T-handle assembly number 3 . It steers and rolls great . Also got the first tool box inserted below the table top. The front frame work is confusing looking but it will all be covered up and wont be seen.:confused3:

Today the table is looking as little different. I cut up three of the old drawers now not being used and converted them into front shelves. I will cut one more and install a third shelf below these two tomorrow. The rear will also get three shelves to get more use out of this table.

Got some red paint out today and got the front new shelves looking much better. I'll get going on the rear tomorrow. I may store a car in the shop for the very first time this winter. These new tables will move around very nice now. I may also move the lift out for the winter . Going to try something different for a change.

Made it to the shop today and now you can see the extended work surface. I redid the end splatter shields to hold vise grips, clamps, squares, etc. on each end. I added a small set of drawers next to the bottom chest after building a frame to support it. Now Im working on the rear lower frame work to hold the portable air tank. Going to be so much nicer working on it . Still looks rough but paint day is getting close.

Where do you park these when not in use. Do you have wall space? (Or extra garage?)

I have a makeshift shed out back that I have them packed in like sardines, ha,ha. I have ten of them squeezed in there plus my old pickup.

Looking much better today , got the front fender well done, the rear fender attached, the rear corner sheet metal on, then boxed in the small drawers. Got out the red paint and started painting but ran out of paint. Very pleased how all three rolling tables have turned out. Going to actually be fun pulling them out on the days I need room and pull garden tractor inside the little workshop.

I think he means the carts. I've wondered how you have them parked in work area. Lots of red.

There is always one garden tractor in the workshop on the lift. Always another garden tractor in the front garage too. The rest are in the back shed or out back. I'm done buying garden tractors !!! Ran out of room !!, ha,ha. Today I finished up painting rolling workbench no. 3 I added the fancy little wheel covers and added a little chrome trim. These were three fun projects and going to make it more fun working in the shop.
