All Electric House + Mark V

Post by davebodner »

About 60 years ago, Westinghouse showed us their version of the all-electric house.

The workshop starts around the 8:00 mark. Around 8:30 is something even more relevant for us.

Very neat. I liked the drop down work benches that are shown just before the Mark 5.

If space is an issue, folding workbenches make good sense. I built my workbench so it folds down out of the way if I need more working space in the shop.
