It is not some perfect piece of furniture, it is a garage workbench I have had my stuff in since 1981. I moved it to my wife's house when I got married, and again when we bought our current house.

I added on a bit to it here for space for my bench press drill, and a place to keep the mini beer refrigerator.

It is not the best use of the space, but I am too attached to it to ever replace it with a pretty nice new one like the photo.



Lots more smaller drawers on the other side. It is as long as a 914. Very solid constriction. My wife would love it if I replaced it with a new pretty cabinet. Ain't gonna happen. This a photo of the pump for my scissor lift and the building of the pit.
Looks a hellofa lot stouter than those prefab units. This one built to take a pounding. Far as I'm concerned, hell for stout beats pretty for a workbench. Probably because mine was dad's...ugly as can be...hell for stout.
