Default HMT workbench hotrex and 98redcavz24 style.

well what started life as a pile of cheap 2x3s and some 24x48 mdf now looks like a work bench for our chopsaw, grinder, vice
it sits 38 inches high and is 24x48 we also have a lower shelf fo rit, which will house the smiley tig/plasma and my scuba tank of argon.
total cost for the build was about 24 dollars.
tomorrow we are making me a metal tig table. my tig will be here wednesday.

heres the beast.

Hotrex-

Isn't that bench grinder gonna get in the way if you wanna put something kinda long in the chopsaw?

Looks nice, I really need to make a taller bench for my chop saw. Here are a few pics of my "shop" lol

My new HMT garage heater

Is also going to be used for powder coating after christmas

Here is part of my stock in Harbor Freight


And my welding area, table is made from an old diving board stand with a piece of plate welded to the top.


Not much but it is what I got, even convinced the wife we needed ADT for the house, then tapped on to it and hooked up the garage
Sucks when she turns the darn system on while I am out there though, I have to make a mad dash for the house to keep it from going off. lol

Later
Randy
