Tom Tom cleans up the shop, sets up a new too chest, and builds a tool cart. I'm getting ready for some serious offroad fabrication projects.

Be nice to see the other reasonable people team up. Can certainly see a pattern with MORR. Plus, it's gone way off the rails with all the events and celebrity status stuff, plus crazy amounts of sponsorship pushes for entire episodes from places giving them free stuff... That always rubbed me the wrong way, when all anyone ever wanted was to watch recovery rides and builds. Icky.

@rogermccaslin5963 2 ай бұрын

Put a drawer under your cart top. I did that for a similar rolling workbench and I keep measuring and marking things in there. I store pencils, pens, rulers, tape measure, a note pad, etc. in the drawer. Before I did that, I never had a pencil handy when I needed it. Now, it's right where I'm working.

@fridaynightgamefilm Ай бұрын

Yeah, and a lower heavy metal shelf for parts that you're removing from the vehicle you're working on, or heavier tools.

Looks great. On the first coat with the Danish oil . Pour onto wood and spread around every fifteen minutes as it soaks in. After 30 minutes wipe so no puddles are left. Use a small rag to apply and store the rag in a Ziplock with no air in between coats. When done with rag, dry it out flat so there is no spontaneous combustion.

Add a shelf to stiffen the legs on the work cart

@MattsAwesomeStuff Ай бұрын

A cart without a lip? Let me sing you the CLANG of my people. Also, a tip I've always been in favor of on the double-decker tool cabinets... shove a 2x4 or 2x6 between the upper and lowers (or build a C-frame with only the front open). It's a minimal increase in height, but it gives you a place to set things down at waist-height whenever you just need to. Which, is almost all the time. I also use it to store lunch trays with smaller projects on them, 2 or 3 wide, when I toggle between projects and need to clear off the big shop table. Oh, and the sides of the cabinets are great places to hang long things. It's not about volume, it's about accessible surface area.

its called cross laminated timber or CLT - its a really good building material - 2/3rds the strength of steel - you can build tower blocks from it

@ITubeTooInc Ай бұрын

No this is not cross laminated timber (CLT), that's something entirely different. Unlike CLT, BauBuche is not made of softwood timber, but instead laminated hardwood (beech) veneer. It's much closer to the different types of plywood in construction as they are all made of veneer unlike CLT which is made of timber. However, in BauBuche panels the veneer layers are perpendicular to the panel surface which is the opposite direction of both plywood and CLT.

Here's a great trick for very tough timber workbench tops. Get an industrial-sized (8 or 12 oz) bottle of ACC (super glue), get the thinnest one, it usually comes in thin, thick and gel. Use a disposable body filler scraper to spread it over the bare sanded surface of the wood (aim for a thin, glossy coat when wet) and allow to soak in and cure. The surface can then be sanded to an incredibly tough satin finish that will also help protect the wood from cuts and dents. If you use more ACC and leave a coating on the timber like a varnish or clear coat as opposed to a "in the timber" oiled type finish yuu want for a workbench you can fine sand and polish it to a rock hard deep gloss.
