Aren't you then afraid of becoming old hat?

Aren't you then afraid of becoming old hat?

No worry - I wear all kinds of hats - old, new, tacky, facetious, and my favorite 'Ain't it 5:00 yet?' hat!! 
Li'l Tommy keeps me on his BOLO list!!!

Okay, back to modeling, er, I mean benchwork. I was laying around feeling a bit languorous this morning. I decided to work on the benchwork in an attempt to shake it off. Well, it worked. The staging level on the East side of the room is now complete.

Here is what I did this afternoon.







Continued in a few.

Let me back up a little here and show you what I did last Saturday. I have two small cabinets I got from Ikea. I use them to keep my scratch building supplies in some sort of order, it that's possible.


I built the benchwork aroud the two cabinets and I made it where I can remove them if needed. They come from Ikea with rollers if you choose to install them, I did.



As you can see the benchwork around and over the cabinets even supports my fan.



Continued in a few.

I've also been doing a little track work on the staging area.



And, I cleaned up the top of the benchwork.





Now I have a little more storage area under the benchwork to store more of my stash! However, it just has a tub of power tools at this time.



Continued in a few.

Here is a view when entering the room.



Of course I need a little sign to let everyone know where they are.



View of room with the ACL sign in place.



I have this sign on the opposite side.

That's all due to my family's reputation (particularly on the Ledbetter side)!!
The FBI main office has a huge display dedicated to the state of the art "Ledbetter Stills"!
However, now-adays, they're devoted to producin' A&I (well, except for the occasional test sip
before addin' the ink)!!!

Now we know why Gnat's always in trouble.....good work on the benchwork Tom!

[deemery]

Will that yard be done when the AS hopper finally rolls home?

The bench work is looking great and you can never have enough storage. Looks like both of us are going to be spending a lot of time doing track work this winter.

Looking great Tom.
