    Let me say things have been hectic and my time has been filled, over the last few weeks I have been able to get some time in the shop and make some changes.

    upgrade 2.jpg

    It is a bit cluttered at the moment, but while I am taking a break and grabbing a snack, I thought I might post a few photos of some changes I have made. To begin this, to the rear, you can see the dust collection cart I started working on, and the new wall cabinets. You can also see I that have finally gotten doors on the table and some drawers built in.

    upgrade 1.jpg


    Same for this side.

    upgrade 3.jpg


    upgrade 8.jpg


    Out of some scrap materials, I added some small bins where I plan to keep commonly used fasteners. I have not done this to the other side, I'm running low on scrap.

    upgrade 9.jpg


    This is the rear of the bench where I keep my second compressor. I have not added the door pulls yet, I have them made and ready to go.

    upgrade 5.jpg


    upgrade 6.jpg


    This is one of the areas with some extra tools and batteries in it. If you notice the three hinges on this side of the workbench doors, my original plan was to store some small commonly used tools on the doors, I may not do that and just remove the third hinge.

    upgrade 7.jpg


    What you cannot see below the cabinets is a small desk/assembly area that I added.

    None of this is cabinet-grade material, just plain, regular plywood nothing exotic, except how badly warped some of this stuff was, sort of like my sense of humor, warped, twisted, and dark.

    It's m-fers like you that piss me off to no end. It would take me a day, or more, just to plan out a working drawing. And yet, here you are, slappin' this chit together outta' scrap and spares in an afternoon.

    Arseholes like you just piss me off. :D

    Good lookin' work too.

    There ya' go, doin' it again. :mad:



    YES, I'm jealous of talent like that.

    Ya happy now??:cool::green:

    Seriously, good stuff.

    This has been over a few weeks, not an afternoon. Unfortunately I'm not good at planning, I see a picture in my mind and go with it, not always successful.
