[junkyard jim]

Are they ready for the windstorm coming tonight/tomorrow?

I got the manual door stuff all mounted. Each door has a manual release lever that disengages the motor from the door and a chain hoist.

 

[crash2]

Door controls. I will recommend these doors to anybody they run smooth and very quiet...

 

[crash2]

Time for some creature comforts. My phone wasn't cutting it for music anymore. I dug out some stuff I had stored away for the shop and got it setup. 6 speakers up in the ceiling and man I can really fill the place with sound--nice not having anybody remotely close...

 

[crash2]

Time to start the bench.......

 

[crash2]

So tonight I got the frame all done. All 3 legs are mounted to the floor with the center leg mount doing double duty. Since I do allot of solo work I often drag rigs in/out of the shop so I made the center leg mount double as a winch mount.

Looking good. :awesomework:

 

[crash2]

Thanks Anthony its really starting to shape up...

On the plus side, you have a tractor avail. full time now which should cut down on the winching significantly. :awesomework:

That winch anchor will come in handy for pulling odd things down to the bench or pulling/holding a tube on a rig.


Seems like Im always using a ratchet strap to keep some odd awkward heavy thing on something else till I can tack it.

The winch point is a nice touch.

I didn't even think about that side of it..I always used a couple jackstands sitting on a big I beam but the mount might come in handy in that retrospect.

Soon---working my back side off to get it done up.

Thanks Lethe..

I called dibs on Crashfab work before he even moved. My Runner needs some alone time with Mike, it needs some love. :corn:

 

[crash2]

Ya your on the list Nick :awesomework:

 

[crash2]

So the first layer of the bench top ended up being a wee bit of work. This stuff was heavy and I had to dig out my table saw and rig something up to solo cut the material.. But ya I was able to finally get it done.

 

[crash2]

So with the bench in place I found what I had figured--lighting was not good enough so that got redone. Lowered and moved the existing fixture and added a second one.

 

[crash2]

And here is the reason for outlet above the bench..:D

 

[crash2]

Now time to get the bench done in the office/hobby room...

 

[crash2]

Tonight I got the frame for it done...

You really should think about overbuilding things! :redneck:

Place is looking awesome Mike! We are gonna try to make it up there the next time you have a get together. Rilee has gotten a lot bigger since the last time you saw her!

 

[crash2]

Thanks Kev---you guys are always welcome at my place--and love watching your little girl grow up.....

 

[crash2]

The top wasn't too bad since I had already cut all but the right edge on both pieces. Its screwed from underneath so I wouldn't have to mess with filling any holes...

 

[crash2]

Now for some organization..

 

[Anthony1]

Looks good. :awesomework:
