Optional Uses for Bench

Post by ARCretired »

Following the SS tradition of a lot of functions in a small space, I added one more function to the Bench / Cart I made for my son-in-law & daughter for Christmas. Normally it's a bench with a vise & dog stops, an extension, add-on supports for a miter saw, and tool storage. (see my earlier post for pictures). But in case they have other needs, I added a couple of trays that sit on the vise & extension pipes. This could turn it into a mobile party cart. Turn the trays upside down & it could be a TV stand (for a LARGE Flat Screen), or a movable kitchen island, etc, etc.

Should be fun at Christmas.

I can't see it getting to the lake. Much too nice. I doubt that I would even roll it out onto the driveway and into the weather.
