Was tired of not having a flat surface to clamp too and not having tools close

looks like a pretty serious shop and bench, nice work.
Im jealous, I wish I had a wood burner in the garage.J/K
That one sweet bench. What did you use for a top? Looks like 1/4",are you worried it warping?
Looks like your gearing up for a project.
It is only 1/8". i spent a bunch of time making sure the frame under the top was flat. If you look at the bottom rails you will see where I welded them in the middle after I made sure the top was flat.
The wood burner was free from a neighbor. Takes the shop from 30 to 68 degrees in an hour.
I have a truggy I bought and plan to do a rebuild with a 38 Chevy truck body.
I am working on it. I found a 39 in Cheyenne Wells, with a Vin tag. I am going next Tuesday to get it. I have to take my sons Jeep to Rapid City SD this weekend.

When do you have time to work? Looks like you spend more time cleaning the shop than using it! Nice table though!
I do not work at this time. It got in the way of my playing so I gave it up.
I just got the shop done. Now I need to work on the other 1600 square feet so I can work on the Jimmy and the truggy.

what's in the square tubing on the ends?? At first glance i thought they were welding rods but it looks like too long of an area...
Thats TIG rod. Steel, stainless and aluminum. I TIG almost everything now. It is so much cleaner and stronger.
It is for jigging and welding only. Of course, I do have a 1/2" sheet if this one does not last.
