New Bench, and questions

PeeWee:
HI All,

Almost finished, the draws are trays rescued from where i work and the runners are old bed slats need some minor adjustments to ensure level and smooth running.  \Since I have decided to upgrade the machines by a total of 200Kg i have now upgraded each of the 6 legs to include a compression joints.  Should have done thos originally.





in the last picture it looks like the lower shelf is not level.  in fact the garage floor drops about 80mm from right to left, this is due to UK building regulations.  the hardest bit was to get each of the 6 legs to the correct length to ensure the top was level.
total size of the bench is 3.5m or just over 11 ft.  All i need now are the machines and electric.

Nice looking bench. I believe it should work for you. I like the drawers...

That's coming along very nice. I like the drawers too. Your going to get a lot of use out of that bench.

PeeWee:
final shot of the bench and the machines it was built for.  i will add the kick plates and electrics over the next week or so.



i will probably add a few more draws and a shelf.

regards

Looks good, Ian  :thumbup: .
Might I suggest some sort of curtaining across the front, to stop chips ricocheting off you into the drawers and shelves?  An old shower curtain would fit the bill.

Happy New Year to one and all.
