Title: WoodWorking Bench
Post by: king310 on February 01, 2013, 10:28:13 pm

I made a trade with one of my brothers. I traded him my 3" craftsman belt sander (which I dot not use and he borrowed sometime back)for his woodworking bench that he has never used and just stored junk on it. I will have to clean it up which is ok. It is not a big bench but it will fit into my shop just fine. He told me that our MOM gave it to him for christmas one year which means I will take care of it.When I get it and get it cleaned up I'll post it. ;D

Sounds like a good trade.  Looking forward to the picture.

OK! I got it cleaned up. My one brother used it for everything but for wood. One vise has thread marks from a bolt that he had clamped. ::) ::). Another spot had burn marks where he soldered something. I was able to sand out most of the burned finish. It is a little narrow, so I will need to make cross braces for the legs

You made out like a Bandit.  Great looking mid range work bench.  In the pic I see
almost what I would expect to see brand new.  Danny  :+}

Forget the bench, I would kill for that much workspace!

If you look at the ceiling you will notice my filter system for my furnace.
The furnace has a 3 layer filter system that I put together with a dado blade in a 2x6. The first is a cheap blue filter to take out the bigger dust particles the a merv 5 then a merv 8it takes a lot of the dust out of the air.

King, I wouldn't know what to do with ALL that Free space.   My workshop has room for one person to operate the tools and that's about it ;-)   The other day I lost track of my Big Buddy heater, got too close to it and noticed that my sleeve has started to smoke.  Scared me more than hurt me..   I have to be super careful not to bump into anything while in there working.
