Thread: Going Down For the Third Time

I have a spare Tardis, and no, the Dalek is NOT included. I HATE those damn things!

There is no such thing as a self-cleaning horizontal surface. Although not widely known to science, all horizontal surfaces contain a gravitational anomaly, such that all matter is attracted to them. Workbenches exhibit this phenomenon more so than other horizontal surfaces, even if the workbench is not perfectly level.

Joe, Sounds like it is similar to the "Law of Selective Gravity" which basically says that "dependant on the weight of an object it will either fall on your foot or roll into the most inaccessable position".
Anyway every one knows there is no such thing as gravity - the World sux!

Warning danger! Will Robinson

Waddever happens do not clean your bench.Disaster can only follow.You risk losing the placement of all the "stuff" on the bench.

Once you allow cleaning up and movement of precious irreplaceable "stuff" loss often follows in trips to tip and having your good "stuff" given away. Your impeccable system of knowing the location , level and depth of any item of "stuff" on your bench will be destroyed and lost for ever.
Build a new bench. I am up to bench 9. and three of them are mobile.
Do not succumb friend .

Been there , done that , got the T shirt! Once threatened by a flooding river, I dismantled a Vicmark lathe to lighten it so as to move it to higher ground. Tailstock and toolrest stored in box and during subsequent clean up relocated box and contents to help with the landdfill at the local dump - sob sob. (Anyone use a VM headstock and bed)

I'm going to get a shipping container.
I have some timber stored in a relo's shed & the farm it is on is now for sale so I have to do something soon.

You blokes need to have look in the metal working section archive. Andy Mac made a bench with a tool mount on each surface- a grinder on one side and sometime else on the .

Put in a pivoting hinge point and flip it over!
Viola! as the frogs says- self cleaning.
