Thought i would show how i made my work bench this weekend.

 

i wanted a high and narrow work bench to fit on the side of my garage..

 

so went to bunnings to get some tube steal but they don't have this steal (they've got every thing els:mad: )

so rang my dad who works for a steal place near Tamworth.

and asked for..

some square tube steal about 4mm thick

4X 25cm long

4X 100cm long

4X 170cm long

came to $38

 

then borrowed my farther-in-laws ark welder.

got new pk of 50 welding rods $15.90.

then started welding bits together but 1st hit the part i was going to weld with a wire brush.

now I'm a baker not a welder i just picked up a ark welder one day and started useing it, its not that hard..

then when you get used to it..

 

and then all the frame knocked up..

then got some cheap pine wood it was 180x31 so it was a little Short as the steal added 4cm but it was ok

cost $19.95 for 2 bits..

cut some bits off the bottom shelf to make it fit..

and added some screws to hold the pine there.

 

so it ended up costing me 73.85 but it was custum made and fits where i wanted it to.

next week i will be puting in some down lights over the bench.

thanks Craig
