If you'd hung on for a wee while, you'd have been able to make your own......

Winchboy has been buying more stuff.
Today its a very nice bench only down side is 4 big chaps struggled to lift it!
It looks like some one has made it but to a very nice design and high standard, the swing out draw is nice sadly only one the other is missing. Top is 6mm Plate!

Welding table, 2M x 1M bit larger than I was aiming for, but price was right and now I can get on with some of the jobs in my workshop. Especially the trolley for my large power hacksaw.
I need to put a cross brace across the middle, probably 50mm x 50mm x 5mm angle.

It's been a great week for junk acquisition, my daily exercise coinciding with local folks' spring cleaning.
Today I picked up a Erbauer HVLP electric spray system. Working but needs a proper cleaning out. Lazy user...
Yesterday I got what was a 1980s Puch 6 speed racer but modified. Needs cleaning and air in the tyres.
Wednesday was the very best. My wife told me of a chap on FB putting out free stuff from his garage, two streets away. Looked like some tools there. I'd been looking for a block and tackle and a cordless drill recently, so I went to look. The few tools he had included ..... a block and tackle and a cordless drill!
I was taken aback by the drill! He had bought it new and said it stopped working (after light use) and probably needed new brushes, but he'd never bothered to investigate.
I slipped him a drink for that and picked them up in the car. Charged the batteries, they held charge and it worked. I stripped it down to clean it (as there was some swarf and bits around the motor) and the one brush I checked, it was barely worn. Not tested the batteries in use yet, but worth re-celling if needed.

Don't know if it was the same model 18V Hilti but I borrowed one from a mate, it tried to break my wrist the first time a hole saw grabbed in a floor tile.
So much more torque than my Bosch 18V s and was then only used on the screwdriver torque limit settings, something I don't like doing.

If you put in two cross braces a few inches from the outer edges you can easily fit a sound solid lower shelf .
Are the castors lockable ?

Single brace only, with 2 I'll end up putting more bits underneath - and doing my back getting them out or make my knees even worse than they are.
2 are but at one end, so will move one, so they are at opposite corners.
