Wife said yes to another of my vague questions!

[longbow]

I said do you care if I get two new workbenches? I need a 6 foot and and 8 foot bench to replace the old ones. She said I don't care.

So I ordered these........

I will now have the workbench I need for my projects.

Uh, dude... "I don't care" means "No!".

Maybe in your household.......

Congrats on the new workbenches! I have been focusing on getting my workshop in order. Still have a long way to go but i should have it about done by the end of the year.

Uh, dude... "I don't care" means "No!".

Actually it would depend on the tone of her voice. My wife says "I don't care" a lot when I ask her questions. In most cases she just truly does not care one way or the other. But then there are the other times and you can easily tell by her tone that she means no.

I was hoping it was "do these look symmetrical to you?"

Maybe in your household.......

Please do tell the manf and model. That is sexy and simple, love it.

I don't care always meant you'll pay for it later! But a dude's gotta have bench space! I build my own. I have never had a commercial bench take the abuse I put them threw.

I will admit that does look heavier then the average. Let us know how it works out.

I don't ask if I want and she don't ask. If one wants it one gets it, if one has the money.

You may find yourself sleeping on the 8 ft. bench some night.
Anybody else keep a blanket and pillow under their workbench?

Thanks

I have the six foot model. That thing is a tank. I didn't think store bought workbenches could be as sturdy as it is.

What do the "old ones" look like?

beat up 2 by 4's plywood and cross braces. They are beyond repair and will burn real good this weekend.

With new workbenches you will be able to construct a device to pry your wife's purse open and fully remove your "belongings". Congrats!

Most of it has arrived and it is put together. Fedex caused some drama on getting them to me. They destroyed the first three cabinets and I had to get three more shipped to me. Of that order, they destroyed one and the last replacement showed up today. So it took seven boxes to get three undamaged cabinets.

The shipper of the work benches didn't do much better. The eight foot table made it to my place with no problem. The six foot table was dropped and ruined at the warehouse. The replacement will not make it to my place until next week.

So by next week, it will all be done and I can start working in a real shop. My guess is the shippers caused at least $1,450 in product damages and extra shipping costs that they will eat. View attachment 37561

The bigger bench in my garage is made of 2x12s. I think it is 14' long and bolted to the wall. I get violent some times. One smaller bench is 8' and has 2 grinders on it and several pounds of metal shavings. It is bolted to the wall too. 4 car garage and no room for cars. They park outside. Wife asks if there is room for her car.. Ah not really. We have a 3 car garage and a 4 car, plus a 16x35 shed.

About the best I get is, the neighbors are calling and asking what the hell are you doing now????

 

[Brian Ski]

Are you using those for workbenches in the garage or reloading benches??? They would make a nice reloading bench.
