[snip] I have a rolling workbench in my hangar that I made. I built it out of leftover oak cabinet parts when I was building my wife's kitchen cabinets. I had it all finished and I was trimming 1/16 of an inch off of one side of the cabinet doors so they would fit properly on my 3HP cabinet saw. I built a rolling workbench from cabinet inserts they removed, to install dishwashers, in our old apartment. Two sections, a 2-ft space, and then a third cabinet section = 8-ft long rolling workbench! I cut a 3/4 inch piece of plywood for the top and put 8 (nice) casters on the bottom - 4 on each side of the middle space. Each of the three sections has one pull-out drawer and two doors on the bottom. Cheap(free) ...except plywood and casters. I was so proud of myself ...UNTIL ...I needed to clamp/QuickGrip my first piece of work down. Um, I failed to factor in a lip - on either end, or in the front. There was a clamping spot available in the middle space, but that was it. Doh! Montblack Live and learn! |
