Member Contributer vfrcapn Posted November 8, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted November 8, 2012 I think I'm dating myself here. Nice looking set of bikes but I'd love to have that stove in my garage for the winter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JZH Posted November 8, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted November 8, 2012 Garage update time! In addition to getting the "Yellow Peril" (the hapless imitator, sadly, not the original) running, while I was back in California over the summer I managed to build two workbenches and pretty much get the place well sorted. The workbench is a solid fire door, framed with 1.75" angle iron and covered with a big sheet of stainless steel (If I were to do it again I think I would just buy a stainless steel door!) But it's dead flat and dead solid--which is exactly what I wanted. Ridgid forged steel bench vice (damn, good vises cost, don't they?) I also built the long wooden workbench and the shelves (as well as making a sheet ply loft for additional storage in the rafters). Now all it needs is a hydaulic lift...
