That's a great place to work. I've been in my house less than a year, I'm still sitting on the garage floor grinding/drilling away! :goof:
My new workbench!!!
My wife bought me some pegboard and the assorted hangars, but I still didnt have all the other necessary stuff needed to build my workbench. I've been home nursing my shoulder(torn rotator cuff) so I've been taking it REAL easy. So a lot of my recent projects have been on hold. My son comes home yesterday afternoon with two solid hardwood table leafs, and an old angle iron fish tank stand and said," Dad, you still need a proper bench to do your work on, and I'm gonna build it for you. Think of it as a late fathers day present." I cant express how much I love that kid, and my wife! :grin: He drilled all the holes in the angle iron stand, and bolted the leafs to the top, then added the boards to the back to support the pegboard. He did a GREAT JOB!!

Its already a mess, but hey, almost all my tools are within arms reach now!! I cant complain. Solid as a rock too!! All the hammering I can do with no flex of the table top at all. Thats my practical hanging up there, and all I need now are 5mm and 7mm reamers and I'm pretty well set up!! I'll be heat treating the receiver and ejector next week, and I'll have to figure out the finish options too for it. I bolted a small vise to one side with extra holes to turn the vise in whatever direction I need it in. And on the other end I had him drill holes to mount my drill press. Its not huge, but more than adequate for what I'm doing. The countdown to completing my AK continues. :twisted:
PS:
He added the Spawn and Punisher figures to the pegboard, because he said "It just needs thes guys up there watching you build your rifles!" I agree!!
