    A Few New Additions

    I've been running short on storage space and clear work surfaces, so I cashed in a couple of HF gift certificates from my birthday and got this lite duty work bench.

    And then found these on sale a week ago for a nice early Fathers Day present to myself.

    The workbench out the door was $129.99 and the cabinets were 59.99 each.





    I've also added a white board to the face of one of the storage cabinets for quick notes and reminders.

      This is borderline suckworthy! I like the whiteboard idea—mind if I steal, er borrow it?

        Not at all, the white board comes in handy because it's in sight line every time I walk in or out of the shop/garage. Nothing like a memory aid as the big 60 approaches.

          Looks good, always need extra storage space. A word of caution on the work bench. The drawers won't hold a lot of weight They need extra support in the middle on them from below. I worked for HF and we had a lot of returns on them.

            I hear ya. I'm a mere 52, and I constantly walk into rooms and can't remember why I'm there.

              Thanks for the heads up, I'm about ready to start moving stuff over to the new bench.
