I think for right now I am going to get some OSB to use for my shelves because it's cheap. I may decide to get some plate later - we'll see.

Make two and you could park the Heep on top of them.

Very stout. I like it.

lol

I like that idea! It is true, the bench got heavy in a hurry! I decided it was time to get some casters when I could barely turn the thing on its side by myself...

Constructed from (11 gauge) 1.5" square tubing mainly. The top has a 2" square piece on each long side. Top is something like 1/8" plate. I picked it up from an old bench my dad used to have. It has a nice bent edge on one side which wraps around the 2" tubing - mmmm smooth.

Needs more triangulation.

Man, why does everyone keep saying that?? :D

I'm going to add some gusseting to this thing pronto. How else would you triangulate a workbench??

I wish I had a welder..... I would use so much time and money doing stuff like that.



Looks great!

Nice work. That is going to be so nice when you weld parts and pieces. I have been using a 3/16 th plate and two saw horses as a welding table lately. So much more comfortable:

at work our shop bench has what is basically a giant extension cord in it so one cord goes to the wall and the bench has like 5 plug ins. we also welded on a peice of angle so that you can hang grinders and clamps on it.

yep, I've been thinking about that:

Mounted a 2" receiver hitch for accessories:

Bench Grinder mounted up - works good:

I'm working on a setup for my tube notcher right now. I will post up pics when finished. Obviously the mounts could stand a few gussets.
