Doc Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 Just need some window covering such as blinds. Then get some Dexion racking for storage. Then some wood to build the benches. At the moment I need to do some painting in the lounge as we have a new carpet and sofa coming in July so I've been told that this is more important then my shed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 Sure will do Steve. The shed got three undercoats and two top coats and the lounge will get the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 (edited) BENCH BUILDING I'm now at the stage to build my benches. A friend of mine is having a new kitchen and he gave me a 500mm four drawer unit and a 300mm cupboard so I've decided to include these in the bench. In the end the bench will be painted grey so the drawers will look uniform. I'm after another three of the drawer units if you know of any or even have some yourself I would be interested in buying them. The posts are 75mm x 75mm and the wood work made out of 38mm x 89mm CLS timber. The photo's below show the frame being built. The outer will be cladded in 12mm MDF and the cupboard and drawer unit will be secured in place. The unit measures 2200mm x 700mm. And there will be a 2300mm x 750mm solid wooden top 50mm thick. I'm going to fill the screw holes with a wooden dowel and cut that off and sand down so eventually no screw holes will be seen. I'm also going to add quite a few bracing lengths across the top to add strength. There will be another bench built for the other side of the workshop this one larger so the milling machine and maybe a lathe can sit on top of it. The first photo shows the bench I built for my chop saw and table saw, it had a dust extractor below it.

Big Al Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Just a small suggestion... I'd add some diagonal bracing into the frame behind and alongside the spaces where the cabinets will go. Wouldn't need anything heavy, but would add to the strength if you're planning on doing heavier work. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could run them over to Kelling for you. The doors on the other bench I'm going to make I was going to make from plain MDF and try and router the moulding shape into them. So if you have doors with the same design I would love them. I can pick them up from you at Kelling. In the mean could you let me know the sizes, maybe stick a photo up of them.

Doc Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 Cheers Graham. Done a bit more today. This bench is getting really heavy now, and it still has the top to go on and another set of drawers. Over engineered again, you think I would have learnt my lesson by now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Nothing wrong with a bench you can beat something to death on. It will last you years. Big Al 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Hi Mick Sorry to disappoint but these have been outside too long. Probably something to do with all this bloody rain. They are just about good enough for fire wood if I can dry them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 A few more hours spent on it. Just one more side panel to do and then buy some wood for the top. Then of course paint it grey and blue. Tweedledee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
