Dado a grove (a hair bigger than 3/4" wide & 3/4 deep) in a 2x4 , use 3/4 plywood for shelf bottom. Paste wax the grove. Had some bearing drawer slides, used them on a few.
These pics are making me jealous. My shop is a little 5x10 (maybe) room off my carport. And part of that is taken over by the water heater
Thing I notice the most about your new cabinets Pallet Pete is that they're on casters. Can't go wrong. Gives you lots of different storage possiblities too. Nice cabinets.
Why thank you sir! I just got one bench moved ( What a pita ) I don't build light benches apparently… And got the boxes in their new home! First step in a loooooong project finished!
Well that has got me hooked Highbeam….. I am building a moving 4*8' bench on steel casters. those casters are $28 each but I feel its worth the small price in the long run. I am drawing it to scale for the workshop layout ill post it up when I am done.
You bet Ill do that and its gonna take most of the winter I think….. I got a lot to do unfortunately other than my man cave.
Just went and found an old vid Pallet Pete ... pretty cool way to make retractable casters for a workbench, if you wanted a solid bench sitting on rugged legs, once you moved it. Slick.
Hmm Thats neat! I would have to modify it a little though. Got me thinking about a screw lift I can hook my impact up to!
My next big project is to dismantle the welding table and hinge the top to the side of the new workbench so it can hang when not in use or lift up to be used. Then I can keep all that angle iron for other projects…
