Title: New work bench
Post by: Punkur67 on June 03, 2014, 05:55:38 AM: I have not done much work on the car lately since I have been busy working on the new house. I did manage to put this workbench together. It has a 9' stainless steel top for most projects and a 5' long 1/2" thick steel plate top for a weld table. I also ran air and power lines in the wall. Just need to finish up some little things like trim around the air chuck holes and a small drywall patch.

Cant beat a $50 Kurt vise. I still need to get an X Y table so it's really dialed in.

My friend put a few new vises on their mill and did not need this one so he gave it to me cheap.
