Basement Workshop - Quick & Dirty
Over three weeks after I started transforming a basement room to a workshop I am ready to make a start on my clock project. Seems like a long time for a small room but I was held up here and there.
All up the two benches cost me around $90 which was mostly towards the frame and some towards the screws. The bench tops were a donation from my work.
1/ The shop-to-be was a store room in its previous life. Don't mind my pink bike...

2/ I was able to use this bench which is at a handy 900mm height.

3/ These cabinets which will come in handy for keeping various tools dust free.

4/ I played around with combinations as one bench top was longer than the other.

5/ Wood for the frame all cut to size. I used a mix of MGP10, MGP12 and MGP15.

7/ Possibly overkill on the screws but I used 100mm and 75 mm liberally.
