Workbench back in position




My refurbished workbench is now back in position. I have cleared my old cupboard out of the way to make way for my Band saw and it fits nicely along side the bench with clear access to the table. I have given the top of the bench 3 coats of satin varnish. The next job is to replace the tool rack above the bench with a new tool cupboard. I am thinking of having a separate cupboard for my planes and special tools that I can hang with a french cleat, perhaps then I will be able to bring it into the house for the winter to help prevent the special tools rusting in the damp conditions.

Under - bench cupboard build

I had a productive day yesterday - I built the under-bench cupboard for storage. I may use sealed plastic stacking boxes for storage or just add some doors. I need to fit my little circular saw under the bench and this may prevent a door closing. So I am thinking about my options.
