Todays shop time.

I had a remote spin on filter left over from something I had disassembled long ago. I decided to mount it on the rear of my 33 year old solvent tank for filtration beyond the mesh strainer most of them have.

The photos show how handy a high lift pallet jack comes in.

Amazon.com: Hydraulic Dump Trailer Blueprints: Automotive

somehow this popped up on Amazon screen and I immediately thought of this group.
Some of you could actually do this. Likely would get customized along the way.

I picked up this Made in Canada pipe vise the other day for $30. Since it’s not a tool I use everyday I receiver mounted it to make it easy to use when needed.

And you already cleaned and painted it? :thumbsup: You are on top of things.

Nope. It didn’t need cleaning. It was unused.

I made a vertical receiver mount with a rotating base today. Should be useful for future fixtures. For now I can utilize it for a 360 degree rotating table.

The 24 inch diameter one inch table top was a result of dumpster diving.

Huh. When I check dumpsters I find used cat litter. Or worse.

From the looks of the shelves behind, You might look into counselling about your "vise compulsion"..

Though I admit a similar affliction. with now fewer than 7 of the devices in my own shop. ;-) None on the shelf however.... ;-)

That's cool... and I was just at the recycle station today dumping glass, plastic, paper, and cardboard. Usually I have something for the metal bin which then gets my attention to spy on possible acquisitions.

Normally I pull more scrap metal out than I deposit. . Sometimes the huge bin is not full enough to retrieve stuff though. I am mad now that I didn't look today. :smiley_aafz:

I like that table idea. Looks high enough to not have to bend over to look closely at something. Every year it gets harder to see stuff.

I made this mobile table for the shop.

36”x 19” x 3” laminated wood top
2”x3” square tube
2”x3”x3/16 angle
4” greaseable swivel casters
2.5” receiver tube mounted vertically

36” working height to match work benches, welding and burning tables.

Total weight 145 pounds

Big Barn, very nice. You're on a tear!

Do you have special source for your steel stock?

Now if you tell me you milled that butcher block top yourself, I'll know for sure I'm not worthy.

Terry, I had to wait to get home to see your pics on something bigger than my phone. I like it a lot!

Did you laminate the wood top yourself?

What are the holes in the structural members for?

Thanks Threepoint.

No special source for steel stock. The supplier I frequent treats me well though.

I can’t take credit for the laminated wood top. There was an ad on Facebook for various lengths. The lady was keeping the only six footer for herself so I took the next longest piece for forty dollars.

Dragoneggs: the holes are purely cosmetic. Most my projects reflect a holier than thou attitude.

I figured as much! :drink: Boy do I need a Magdrill!

Actually the holes in the rectangular tube were done with sheet metal cutters on the drill press. (I don’t have a fancy setup for my mag drills like BuckitCase). It was easier for me to keep the holes parallel using the dp vise.

I used the iron worker for the holes in the angle iron. Easy peasy

I have that problem also, and I’m shorter than average!

Just not fair! :hissyfit: The iron worker is on my bucket list.
