Here is my new workbench just assembled. I have a matching shelving I am putting it together later. I will post pictures as soon as I finish.

Mike
farmer 56 here ..... nice i would think it would be like the movie " field of dreams " " is this heaven " very nice..... enjoy it dennis
Here it is with the shelving
Mike
Great work Mike, all the pockets along the side will be very handy, the only down side to it, is if the pockets are to deep, it may be hard to get the parts out, specialy if you have short stubby fingers like mine, maybe place plastic container in them so the container can be removed to get @ the parts, thanks for posting, cheers Don
Looks good, Mike —
Lots of good possibilities there — depending on your style of working and needs.
Solid quality.
Best,
Fred
Very nice,,,,love the wood work ;D
Wow, and it came with a 349HC on a cradle ?? ;) ;) ....perfect
Love the 2 tone and the butcher block table top
Ted
I like it too. Solid, functional, and handsome as well.
First class Mike! Very nice stuff.
..........Lou
Nice setup, Mike!
Nice Mike; good luck with it.
Joe
Neat--o Mike! I like you style !!
Very nice. :)
Those deep pockets along the side is good for holding your pliers, screwdrivers, etc... to keep the work area clear. That shelf next to the work table is also good for stacking all the reels that need to be worked on. Couple shelves for those needing service and the other two shelves for completed reels for pick up. ;D
Thank You all for the good words. I wanted something that would last a long time.
Mike
now thats a perfect example when art meets funcionallity, congrats buddy.
this is my man cave and work bench, sometimes its the bedroon and somethings the living room, but sometimes its just a boring picknic table ;D ;D

That's a nice work station! It even looks to be better organized than Fred's :o, but you need to make a trip to the tool store. ;D

But Alex I dont see a big hammer in your mobile tool box. Every tool box needs a "BIG" hammer. Especially for Shimanos. Every Shimano that needed the the "BIG" hammer never again needed any work. It's really an amazing thing... Jeff

I dont know how BIG you want the hammer to see it but its there compadre, it was covered with other tools, and your right about shimanos I have to use it more times than I though I would, its there for the finesse touch for shimanos

LOL, I know what you mean, my wife want me to have some spare rooms built on the 2nd floor and move my things
(with me included) there!! ;D ;D
That is really nice, Mike! 8)
You know, that is actually going to be considered furniture, and will need to be kept clean / polished..
[Edit: The thread is old enough, Mike needs to post a current pic..]
My space is in the garden shed, which I kind of like, as does the SO. Kerosene, Simple Green, and vinegar actually stink. So does grease. ;D I'd just assume not hear about it.
At least it has a granite worktop! I clean that periodically. I could even cook dinner out there if I wanted.
I have always been a carrier of the Penndicitus virus, but lately it has been severely inflamed, maybe terminal.
