I told ya that top would look good!

Really looking great!

Top looks great. However I have always heard sheet rock screws are not good for furniture use. No horizontal strength. Plus I always had them snap in hardwood.

Depends on HOW one uses them....

Drawers are all fitted so that they will slide in and out better...do not NEED them to be a "Piston Fit"...merely needs to keep most of the dust out...

So, since those are done..

I suppose I had better move that rag...

That better? I am not staining the back of this ...thing....however, I do need to somehow get this fat body back in here...

So that I can stain and wipe down this end of the case...

Will let this smelly mess dry overnight, and see what it looks like...and do any "touch-ups" required..

Stay tuned

You're gonna have the fanciest dungeon anywhere!!

Lookin good. You better find a couple of young bucks when it comes time to move that beast

Looks like it just came off the showroom floor.

Ok..this spot..

is where the new "Bench" will be going..

have already started to fill up a drawer..

Bought a $10 cardboard box filled with tools, yesterday...figured this will be better than it sitting upstairs on the Dinning Room Table

Closed up the drawer..opened the can of varnish..and a brush.

Top NOW has a coat of Warm Gloss Poly brushed on. Back did not want to bend well enough to do the lower section..

Letting this thing sit a day...

Stay tuned..

(There IS a LONG set of photos, covering most of the last Rust Hunt finds.....Might start a thread about those, IF anyone wants to read it?)

Bring it on I'm all lab eyes 🤓

I concur, post!

Laundry Room is closed for a few hours...

Can't get the clothes hamper past this thing..BTW...a coat of varnish has been brushed on to everything...including a second coat on the top..

Corner detail..

Letting this sit a spell...rather boring to sit and watch varnish dry...

Red Cord? Goes over to the drill press...as these 3 needed Rust Bunnies removed...

Combo square with a slot in the blade? Stanley Defiance 12" Combo Square

ok...Top has a second coat of varnish...the rest has a single coat..

Which means that this mess needs to be removed...

So..yesterday...started with removing items and finding places to stash them for a little while..

( This MIGHT be a LONG post..)

Found this thing hiding in the back..

Sprayed it down with WD40, hopefully I can get the one threaded part unstuck..

Saw Til..once the 8 screws holding it down were either removed or snapped off..

Was then flipped over onto it's back ( sound of rusty saws rattling) and push out of the way. Area it was in was swept clean...Planer was slid down into the now empty spot....the Mitrebox was cut loose, and was hauled over to the work bench, for now...1/2" thick REAL plywood was next...( more screws..and one that did not want to be removed..) and the plywood was set aside for now..

Which left..

A layer of OSB..and MORE screws. Moved the planer over, onto the Tablesaw..By the time I had all the screws and the wood removed..

Had the same amount of short, fine thread screws too...I then need to dig up a long 5/16" nut driver bit..

And take the metal frames apart...WARNING ( as I found out the hard way) Everywhere there had been a screw, there was now a very sharp burr waiting to snag any finger or hand going buy..Finally..

Stashed, for now...until I happen to find a use for them...Which left this mess..

Meant I needed to bring a trash bin and a scoop shovel downstairs...use one to load up the other...then haul that back upstairs to the New Improved Fire Pit, that I also needed to build FIRST...

Half the load..

Let this burn down a bit, then dump this onto the fire..

While that burns, went back and swept out the space I just cleared up..

And, since my back had decided it was QUITTING TIME!

Decided a "Cold One" will do, as I editted all these pretty pictures for Polite Company..

Grandson ( who bought the 12 pack of the beer as my Birthday Present) has offered to come over, and help move the new bench into the just vacated space...Then I can get busy loading it up...

Stay tuned..

Looks like you've got a good game of Tetris going on. The cabinet looks great.

Moving day IN the shop..with a bit of strong arm help...takes 2 people to move the dang thing around, but

Already has the planer, and the Langdon 72c..

Those 1 x 4s are about all that is left of the old bench made of wood...Mitre Box and saw is a Stanley No. 346..

Might just leave the Tool Chest there, for now...Tablesaw is "Stowed away" for now...can be pulled out as needed..

We now have a bit of "elbow room" in the shop...so..

"NEXT!"

The fanciest dungeon shop I've ever seen!

That is a great looking bench but I have one question. Why did you not put drawers all the way to the floor utilizing wasted space?

Why? 2 words....Dungeon Creek....take a good look at the floor again...

Forgot about the flow thru you have going on. Guess you could put everything in boat on floor.

Shelves it is, then.
