Shop Table


Shop Table
Originally uploaded by mynameismiek
Almost finished my shop table. I am borrowing a circular saw from a friend of mine to cut the MDF for the lower shelf (my Ryobi 18v cordless just wouldn't cut it).

I designed it myself one afternoon last week.

Top surface is 49"x97"x40" (WxLxH)
Lower Surface is 24"x88"x12"

Materials:
12 - 2"x4"
2 - 3/4"x4'x8' MDF
~80 - 10x3" exterior wood screws

5-6 hours of time

6 Month Hiatus Comes to an End!

Well, after having another kid and the holidays, I finally have more progress to report. My Dad and Chris came over and we destroyed 6 cutting discs, 3 saw blades, an angle grinder, a reciprocating saw oh and an RX-7 frame!

Metal bits lay strewn about my garage and front yard.

Chopping up the RX-7 010

I think the most satisfying thing was actually cutting it in half. It was a lot of fun cutting other bits and trying to kick the windshield out but that was by far the best.

Chopping up the RX-7 008

Now, on to building!
