Help me design my saw shack...

Oil stains are manly.

I'd recommend the foam interlocking squares from Harbor Freight...or Lowes or Home Depot, etc.

They keep your feet off the cold floor in the winter, and keep them from hurting when you are standing for long periods of time.

Got a couple of these for Christmas. Put one together today, man they sure are nice.

I typically don't mind oil stains, but since I'm going all out, might as well coat the floor while I'm at it. I do plan on getting a couple rubber anti fatigue mats. I'll look into the foam ones as well. Thanks for the tip.

Nice stools!

Rubber mats are better than what I recommended. But for $9, they really are a decent value. I use them in front of my bench.

Parts storage..?

Anyone have some clever ideas?

For parts storage, I bought an expensive Rigid table saw for that....lol

I really want to build all custom cabinet's under the bench. But also would like to use it before 2018... A table saw sure would be nice. Actually think we have one tucked away in the shop. May have to see if it works...

old peanut bar jars or mayo jars run a wood screw threw the center of the lid under a shelf and screw the jar onto the lid i keep my mixture of screws,nuts,bolts in them.

I bought this at a garage sale this summer. It's a catch all right now though.

My assembly bench are the cabinets and work station that where in our "mud room" it has a nice corian top that I throw an old solid core door on top of if I'm doing anything that would hurt the finish I built this in its place to keep the peace in the family. A win-win.

That is very nice...

Wood working is not a strong suit of mine. It doesn't like to stretch\bend, and screws don't fill gaps lol

Cheap ideas...

I really like printer paper boxes. They are the same size for consistency. They have a lid so they are easy to get into/out of. They fit an entire saw pretty nicely. They are stackable.

Tackle boxes and similar plastic containers work well for smalls.

Someday I will upgrade from diaper boxes to the the nice clear Rubbermaid containers with lids. I have a steady stream of diaper boxes!

I enjoy swinging a hammer and wood working (probably because I don't do it for a full time job), but you have fabrication and machinist skills. I wish I had that talent.

No such thing as half a midget. You either is or you ain't.

Hi Joe. Moooooooo

Progress dot dot dot



These ought to work for in process powerheads.


Cabinet for new/spare parts. Tin peg board for the door front's. 16x33x11 will hang it above the stackable totes.

Looks really nice Joe.

Those should work great. You can easily see what is in there. I like the tool boxes built into the bench too. The stainless top will be great. Very nice.

Joe, for floor covering I used this in my shop. My feet and dropped pistons thank me everyday.

Thanks Pat,

Can't really see through the peg board, but what I like is the ability to use the peg board accessorys on both sides.

Definitely think some type of rubber mat is the way to go for longevity/comfort.

Very nice work Joe, when you done and can work/find stuff it will all be worth it.

I sure hope so. I quit keeping track of the $$ to finish it a while ago lol

Just gotta fight the urge to start using it before it is finished.
