Shop Cabinet Upgrade

I haven’t posted here for a while but I’ve been hanging around. I’m working on a bigger project that has been taking a long time …….. and then there is my school, my boat, golf, travel etc. so sorry for the absence. Retirement isn’t for sissies. Anyway I will try to catch you up on some of my projects now. :-)

This is a little make work project that was brought about by an oops that occurred while I was working on an actual project that required me to dye some veneer. The dye I was using didn’t get along with the aluminium trays I was using and the result, while not catastrophic was messy.

The veneer did get dyed but as it needed to thoroughly dry before I could use it I decided to “upgrade” the bench while I was waiting ……. and that’s how all this silliness got going.

Anyway it is done now, the dyed veneer came out well, the “real” project is progressing …. and I have a really pretty workbench in my little winter shop in Az..

Thanks for looking.

I hope you can see the irony about complaining you don’t have enough time on your hands. LOL.

OK Brian, you got me.
Maybe I’m just lazy……
Wolf, sorry but I keep all my tools and junk in it so it’s not available for trade….

Thanks for the comments, it was a fun diversion.

As I have said before if the brothers Abraham and David Roentgen were still alive they would be worried by you Paul !

You obviously know its “way over the top” but still its amazing work, sadly no doubt thats the working life end for that bench!!

Couldnt leave without some dry humour.
I wondered if its just “contact” stuck on and you are just having a lend of us all.

Regards Rob

Thanks Rob ….. but it still is and will always be a shop cabinet. Where else would I put my tools? Of course it is now protected with bar top epoxy. :-)
