Show us your workbench

It's somewhere back there under all of that stuff and the bucket that I'm using for electrolysis de-rusting.

 

Here's mine. Do some good work here!

 

Here's my latest workbench project. Drilled a 4" dropped SoCal axle last night for my Sport Coupe.

 

Here's mine

 

great idea storing all those fasteners under the bench top,not only using otherwise wasted space but also forces you to keep bench top uncluttered.

 

Here is mine....I call it organized chaos. I am a firm believer that organized people are too lazy to look for things. Every time I "organize" or clean my garage I lose stuff and it takes me forever to find stuff.

 

OH I'm stealing that idea. use wasted space and make me keep it clean LOL

 

I just opened this post up because I was embarr***ed when I thought what mine looks like. The suspense got to me and I finally had to look. I was expecting to see those fancy organized picture post card work benches. I am really relieved to see that I'm not the only one that is not a neat freak. I could not build anything in those garage show rooms with the tiled floors etc. Show offs. I like my garage.

 

This thread made me laugh. I don't even have a garage, just a "work area". Houses with garages are $2000+ a month over here, so I make do. At least I don't have to contend with cold weather and snow. The clear containers hold parts soaking in vinegar to remove the rust. The ladies at the local store think I'm a chef because I buy so much vinegar.


The pvc pipe supports a temporary canvas I put up when I'm working. Gotta take it down at the end of each day to keep the property management Nazi's from griping at me...again. lol

 

Mine only looks clean because I just finished insulating and putting osb on the walls . My bench is 3x10 with a 3/16th steel top ,two roll cabinets and 2 fire truck compartment drawers for drawers...PAUL

 

I love that nash sign.

 

I have these 3 work benches and they arent always this uncluttered.

 

I built my shop in '05. I have a 24' main bench usually full of clutter, til something needs to be done. here are a few shots of the changing clutter:


in the beginning, just two layers of used '2 by' form lumber saved from the s**** pile.


but soon afterwards the clutter began as I started to move in.













I have 1/4" steel plate on half of it, that is where most work get done.

... but additional portable tables get used too, whenever it seems too hard to clear a space.

 

Wow is that a hemi powered work bench? How cool is that!

 

I put wheels on all my stuff in the garage including my work bench because I have moved so much for work...............

 

This is one section. I try to keep things cleaned up, but if your in the middle of a thrash it can get out of hand pretty quick. When it gets so bad I can't stand it, I take a few hours and clean the whole shop. Mike



Parked projects generally turn into parts stowage for current projects.

 

now what ....

 

Just cleaned it up, and it's still a wreck.

 

Here's my set up. I have a 1 car garage with a back room built in so my space is limited.

old bench

new bench


back room


some extra space under my cabinets

 

How it looks before I start a project.

 

Some say that being organised is indicate of a sick mind, well I guess some of us have medical issues to address

 

Here is some of mine.

 

here is mine love it

 

Is this a little better??

 

Hey tommy, inyour last pic you posted there is a rattle can rack on the wall. What did you make it out of?

 

2 1/2 or 3" exhaust tubing??? CRS halfheimers. Thanks for noticing.

 

Here's another reason to have a flatbed/workbench.

 

I can take a pic of my workbench areas- but you'll only see a couple 3-deuces, a couple toploaders, 3 sets of heads.. and maybe 5% of the workbenches, tops

 

I don't feel to bad about my Tiny messy shop now
