Hi to all, With the lathe project on hold for the moment I started on another overdue project, a new workbench. I had the frame made by a local welding shop as welding is one of the things I just cannot do properly any more. First made some shelves from brown stuff and gave them a decent cote of paint for protection. I collected and made some bits. Then welded it all together. Made a bit of a mess and had to do some heavy grinding. The top is a piece of 4mm sheet steel I bought through a friend at an industrial radiator works. This was space welded to the frame on the inside. Then marked and drilled some holes to mount a vice, had to do some improvising to drill the holes. The complete bench was then given a nice cote of paint. And at the moment I am waiting for the paint to dry so it can be assembled. Abraham |

Hi all, Eric, David D thanks for the comments. Finished the workbench today. With wheels and collapsible handles for easy movement, and adjustable feet for the uneven courtyard floor. Ready to be used. Abraham |
