    Idea for your waste motor oil. Build a Sand Box for Garden Tools. Build open box approx 2ft wide,12in deep/high. Fill with coarse sand, add copious motor oil/kerosene mix.
    After using garden tools, shove vigorously into sand/oil mix to remove all mud/garden residue, leaves oil residue to prevent rust & smooth surfaces dig into garden easier. Hang tools above box to catch any drips & air dry

  • @jerrycomo2736
    @jerrycomo2736 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I built a similar system with these differences: the cabinet casters removed, and I built a wheeled tray for the cabinets to sit on. They got their own top that performed as a roll-around worktable. This cabinet tray was stored under another bench. So now I had two work benches, one permanently in place and under it a roll-out tray of cabinets also with a work top. As I got into hand tool wood working, both were insufficient and unsteady for hand tool work. They were scrapped and the wood turned into replica antique tool chests. I think your 2x6 lumber top will be fine.

    Small tip for metal vises- bolt in a strip of copper instead of their OEM crappy hardened steel inserts. Much less marring and excellent grip without futsing with plastic jaw protection. Last vise I did was a 1960’s vintage Record #6 for which 1/2” x 1” copper bus bar was perfect fit. And cheaper buying it as bus bar than exactly the same copper from any of my usual non ferrous suppliers. Holding up well in a machine/fab shop with heavy use.
    Bonus: makes a good heat sink for small part tig welding :-)

    its funny you used the revolution ply - its meant for subfloor underlayment material but in my parts, a lot of people use it for interior sheathing. walls/ceilings that just simply need covering w/ no strength like in a garage or cabin/cottage. It does look and perform great, for the price. all over sheet goods are so damn expensive these days.
