On the plus side, you have a tractor avail. full time now which should cut down on the winching significantly. :awesomework:

Oh damn--I didn't even think of that Chad :redneck:

That winch anchor will come in handy for pulling odd things down to the bench or pulling/holding a tube on a rig.

Seems like Im always using a ratchet strap to keep some odd awkward heavy thing on something else till I can tack it.

The winch point is a nice touch.

I didn't even think about that side of it..I always used a couple jackstands sitting on a big I beam but the mount might come in handy in that retrospect.

I called dibs on Crashfab work before he even moved. My Runner needs some alone time with Mike, it needs some love. :corn:

So the first layer of the bench top ended up being a wee bit of work. This stuff was heavy and I had to dig out my table saw and rig something up to solo cut the material.. But ya I was able to finally get it done.

So with the bench in place I found what I had figured--lighting was not good enough so that got redone. Lowered and moved the existing fixture and added a second one.

And here is the reason for outlet above the bench..

Now time to get the bench done in the office/hobby room...

Tonight I got the frame for it done...

Thanks Kev---you guys are always welcome at my place--and love watching your little girl grow up.....

The top wasn't too bad since I had already cut all but the right edge on both pieces. Its screwed from underneath so I wouldn't have to mess with filling any holes...
