Mobile work bench was created by bluej58
I built this bench entirely from recycled 3/4 subfloor plywood.
The only costs were the casters and the GFI.

Right now it's in my walk out basement next to the bike but I can wheel it out to work on stuff in the drive way and stash it in the garage when I'm done.

Very nice portable work bench! :cheer:

GFI :unsure: Ground Fault Interrupter?

On a side note -- and without having ever reasoned exactly why -- my vise has always been attached to the front left side of the bench top. :S

Good Fortune! :)

Because youre right handed,puts long pieces over bench when your working on them.
Or maybe you have a fear of falling off the end of your bench while youre working,this according to Dr Sigmund Rocks new book:Im nutz,but its ok! :laugh:

Hey thanks guys,

Pete I don't think you really want me to work on anything of yours, I just do my stuff out of necessity because I can't afford to pay anyone else to screw it up for me :silly:

I have been thinking about making a ramp system that flips up horizontally and can be broken down and stored away, stay tuned.

Yes it has a 20 amp ground fault system and I just thought that the vise looked good over there ,it also rotates 90 deg to the front .

I got the idea from a cabinet shop that I work at part time, everything is on wheels .

Everything is glued / screwed and solid as all get out, the casters are only rated to 880 lbs combined, I wish they were beefier but it was all I could get that day and should hold up if I'm careful.

It took about 2 1/2 sheets of 3/4 plywood to make.
