New Work Bench

[Quick GMC]

Sorry for the cell phone pics, but I was concentrated on the work ahead.

I have been using the $70 steel frame shelving as a bench. very uncomfortable and sharp on the edges. I bought a new bench @ Home Depot with a stainless top for $250. New 4 foot High Output fluorescent light, a shelf and a few other things. I also bought a new fan and will be making a new paint booth.

I still have to make the paint booth and organize the shelving a bit

I made the paint raicks from 1.5" wood and I ripped some door skins for the front and rear

Took the whole weekend

new setup

Office desk and everything came out of the living room and into the closet. Top closet shelf will be for office supplies

6 foot bench, had the stool already. Stole my wife's makeup facial lamp magnifying glass thingy. Shelf was $12 plus $15 for the brackets. 4 foot light under the shelf.

Not super fancy, but clean and level

Not too fancy but it's a nice hangout room. We have our office, I have my work space, a bed to relax and watch TV in and much more room in the middle so more comfortable for guests or the dogs to scratch their butts on the floor

Yeah, a few months shy of 5 years now. It wasn't horrible, but it was pretty annoying. I put $3k into my transmission and it took a bit to build, so that absorbed all my play money for a while.

Hope you enjoy your man cave, can't wait till I get out on my own and have a bachelor pad. I like the sugar skull picture on the wall.

Congratulations, looks like a great space to hit the styrene zone in. Hope you get many years of pleasure and use out of it.

Thanks guys. Still have some organizing to do before I can spend any decent time at the bench. I sneaked in an hour or so a couple nights ago to make the generator for my Chevy.
