Hello all,

Had a load of long-lozenge shaped construction ply off-cuts left over from a recent job and thought it a shame to bin 'em. Picked up some 14mm (10mm ID) tube for the bushings from a scrap bin and had a bit of threaded rod lying about. The two L brackets were an old (sawn in half) motor mount I'd made myself for a bit of a project that never worked as expected and has since been disassembled. Only thing I need more of are the empty dessert jars... Shouldn't be a problem.

Anyway, here it is:

28988 28990 28989 28991

EDIT: Nuts are torqued up to give a bit of resistance and stud-locked into position, each level moves independently.

Indeed. And not only... Salted Caramel Cheesecake too...

With a bladder like mine, you'll need bigger pots...

Minor mods needed to cope with the shiraz as well as the salmon pinwheels but I like the concept of being able to tuck it under the bench and keep the swarf out of your hors d'oeuvres.

Well Wal,


You have inspired me to organise my small parts storage (Drawer 1 of 3).

Rest of the bench is still a shitheap though...

This is part of an ongoing project which started in March...

Note the use of the soft-focus filter to give an extra dimension of dreaminess (I must clean the lens on my phone:witless:)

That counts as organised for me, Rob - some of the boxes have labels on!

I made a little cabinet with slide-out drawers recently, using offcuts of ply I had knocking around. Fitted nicely under the router frame, all designed to hold collets, cutters, etc. Pity the drawers are about 1/2" too long for the space in front of the cabinet so I can't quite get them in or out...

WIP Sir ! WIP. I have 48M of labelling tape and the label printer on standby. All part of the office rebuild Lockdown project.

You're doing a grand job, Rob - wish I had that much spare floor space in my workshop!

It is not so tidy now. I blame Boltzmann. I knew where everything was until him and his mate Heisenberg junked the place!
